A lot of people either can't afford to or don't want to spend the money on a Pit Bull stand. I can sympathize, but when it comes to tools I cannot agree. Recently I had the opportunity to pick up an "economy" rear stand for literally a song, so I figured at the very least I'd have something to post a comparison about.

The rear stand is a PSR (Power Stands Racing) and can be purchased from [http://www.motorcyclegear.com/parts/track_garage/motorcycle_stands__lifts/psr/econo_rear_spool_stand.html MotorcycleGear.com] and many other retailers. It's $55, but it only comes with the spool attachment, so if you have a bike like the EX250F that doesn't have spools, add the swingarm flat lifters for an extra $15. Add shipping and you're up to $85.
