I Switched from regular spools to the Woodcraft Superbike lifter ;-) Huge difference in just engaging and ease of lifting.
Super quality made... I was running into clearance issues with the stock chain adjuster plates so that is why I switched.
GLAD I did... this will make this a lot easier at the track and for anyone helping me when I come of the track for stand help.
I too think GP lift works better than spools at the track, and in general. Woodcraft wasn't available when I got the bike so I went with Fast Frank. I have his GP lift on other bikes and I've never had a problem.
I have the Womet-Tech rear axle slider (from TST) on the R7 but I don't really like the look, I might be switching to Woodcraft for that, I'll get the front too no matter what.
Mine on the rear appear unscratched after the tip over, but the bolt bent. I have some extra bolt's now. I am still shocked at how well the bike came out, minimal damage compared to me. LOL
I just noticed, the rear Woodcraft sliders mount on a spool/lifter mount, not through the axle. The Womet go on the axle. Interesting. I liked the idea of on the axle, one less thing to safety wire.
With my Pit Bull rear stand, and it seems the same way in those pics, the adjustment does not leave you much room. I wish I could flip the spool holders down but there is not enough room. Whatever, it works, it's just higher. I'd get an adjustable Woodcraft stand if I didn't have to wait an unknown amount of time for them to make it.
