Is there any stand in the US that is readily available and easy to get that will fit the Street Triple? I think they're called paddock stands or something but I haven't been able to find any in the US that will fit.

pitbull makes stands I use both the front and rear stands, there are plenty of others to, a search will bring up others models

I have the Pit Bull forward-handle for my rear stand. If I were to do it all over, I'd pay the piper and get the Abba stand from England.

The Vortex stand is easily available in US. I've been using mine all year and it's rock solid. Converts for use with non-bobbin swingarms as well. I use mine with the hook ends on my Triumph bobbins and it fits great! http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/75/7532/ITEM/Vortex-Rear-Stand.aspx

I contacted ABBA a few months back and the best I can get one from is from Canada for a heafty price.

Harbor Freight just started carrying a stand. Nice steel construction painted black heavy rubber coating on the brackets. Best part it's only $36. I've used it on the Street several times and on my friends GSXR1100. It works good.

Really? I'll have to was thru all this water and swing by during lunch.

Quick Stand

Bike Krutch

Lift & Lube (click the "detailed images picture,,,shows use)

 

[MacBandit]

I think the Quick Stand is the one to get. It's the one I plan on getting. It's very small and light and it hooks over a swing arm spool so it's not going to slip.

Does that harbor freight stand have an attachment to use swingarm spools? If not, be very careful using stand that lifts from swingarm itself - bike is more prone to slipping off (in my experience w/ my SV and cheap stand). I gave up and got a pit bull. Spools are more stable,preferrable IMHO.

 

[MacBandit]

It doesn't have spool hooks but it wouldn't be hard to make a couple. I've used this one several times and the rubber coated plates are hooked at the end and I wrestled with the bike to see if it would slip at all and it's never budged.

Easy Wheeler II

I have a Speed Triple and wanted to share my experience with the Easy Wheeler II. It's very expensive (almost $200 with shipping) but it's built like a machine part to a tank turret and comes with a lifetime warranty. To be honest, I either didn't trust the quality of other stands and/or my ability to use them without dropping my bike (mostly the latter). With the Easy Wheeler, I didn't need any help at all. Plus, the stand is so beautifully made it's like art. The first time I used it, I couldn't help but put plastic under it rather than put it directly on the ground. So if you're looking for something idiot-proof, check out Easy Wheeler.

Easy Wheeler no longer being produced because of personal health probs . Check website.

Harbor Freight sells two models of stands. I have two of their aluminum ones and it comes with bobbin hooks. At least I think that it comes with the hooks. I might of bought the hooks as an accessory - can't remember as I have had them for about a year. They are lightweight and don't rust and they are inexpensive. They work great on my Street Triple and my Tuono.

 

[MacBandit]

The aluminum Harbor stand does indeed come with hooks the paddles are available as an accessory. The bigger steel stand that Harbor sells has paddles but they don't sell hooks as an accessory. The steel stand with the paddles is extremely strong and very stable the bike will not slip on it.

Rear Paddock Stand

I bought a universal stand for $47.95 with free shipping from motomasterusa off ebay. It works fine. It comes with hooks and paddles. I had to put it together. I didn't see a need to spend a lot of money.

Harbor Freight has a spool/bobbin stand as well, $50. Item number 99701. BTW, there is a 20% coupon in just about every MC and auto mag. out there which saves you $10 on this stand. Here's a pic. of the stand with the HF bobbins which are $5 for the pair. Works as well as any but significantly cheaper than most!
