Motorcycle Stand Shopping

Im in the market for motorcycle stands, Id like to find a stand that is easily stackable because we will be taking 2 bikes in the back of the truck also ideally id be able to fit a gas can in the upside down stand stack. Ive been looking at the Matrix C1 stands, any advice or feed back?

I have a M64 and it is very tall and hard to lift the bike onto. It is very slippery as well. Other than that it is great. I prefer the LS1.

Harbor Freight. $30 and they are stackable. They hold the bike just as good as other brands.

I have both of these Matrix stands too. Now that I have a much lighter bike, I find I’m using the M64 more. The M64 should easily fit a gas can when stored upside down. Not sure about stacking but I would assume so. If you decide to go the lift stand route, the LS1 is a pretty solid stand-it has a wide base that makes it stable, a large platform for the bike to sit on and it’s easy to use especially when you are tired. When retracted in the down position it doesn’t take up much space. I recommend both.

Harbor freight stands. Steel so magnetic parts trays stick on. 30 bucks, doesn’t sink into turf.

I have two Matrix stands: an M64 and an A1. I like the aluminum one much better; it doesn't flex when you throw your bike onto it. The plastic ones do.
The M64 fits inside the A1, and I can get a round VP gas jug in either one upside down.

If I were buying a new stand, I'd look at Harbor Freight though.

UFO Folding stand! Love mine. Grippy, and tough as hell!
