The Pro ATV X-stand
has already proven to be one of the most useful products that we
have come across in a while. We have been using the Motorsport
Products Pro ATV X-Stand for about 3 months now. The stand has
become a must have for working on our project ATV's. Up until this
point we had made do and spent allot of time bending over or
crawling around the garage floor while working on the quads. Now
with the Pro ATV stand we can easily get the quad up to working
level and have been able to save our back and knees. It has made
teardowns and general repairs so much more convenient with the ATV
at a decent working height. Most of the dealers and shops have nice
hoists or lifts but not everyone can afford a lift. For $109.95 you
can have your own stand at home.

ratcheting straps for attaching the stand to your ATV also hold the
stand together when folded for transport or storage. |

The Pro ATV X-stand is made from high quality 6061
aluminum and it comes with three adjustable ratchet tie downs with
rubber coated hooks. The front of the stand has a large panel that
can accommodate all of your sponsor logos or your name and number.
The complete stand is very light and folds up nicely so that you
can take it to the race track with you. The stand comes in blue,
red, green, black, and semi-chrome so no matter what brand you ride
there is one to match.
There is no assembly
required for the stand itself but if you have a belly plate on your
ATV and want to use the stand with the belly plate installed you
may have to slot the plate to allow the billet frame hooks access
to your ATV's frame. We stood Project Raptor up on end then held
the stand up and marked the spots for the slots. We then removed
the belly plate and cut a slot on each side with our sawzall. With
the new slots in our belly plate we reassembled the belly plate and
we were ready for installation on our stand.

The hardest part of using the stand is actually
lifting the front of the ATV up so as to stand it on end on the
rear grab bar. If you can do that by yourself then it is all a one
man operation. After that you simply put the stand up to the frame.
Run one strap to the forward part of your frame and one out each
side to your pegs. Ratchet these down evenly then you let the front
of the ATV back towards the ground. The feet on the stand are made
such that they make contact then allow the stand to be rolled
forward and onto the front two legs. That is it. You are now ready
to work on your ATV.

Summary
We have
found the Pro ATV X-stand to be VERY functional and useful.
Not only does it work good in the garage at home it works great for
displaying your quad at the track or for making those last minute
adjustments. If you are a racer or sport quad owner and find
yourself working on your quad quite often then we think this stand
makes an excellent addition to your arsenal of tools and equipment.
We also really like the Pro ATV X-Stand for displaying the ATV at
the race track.
