I put one on my Fuel EX because I got tired of leaning it on things in the house when I'm not riding it, and at present I have no place to put up my bike rack/pole to hold the bikes. I also think you do just as much damage to teh bike leaning it on a tree as you may do with a kick stand. either one scratches up the finish. *shrug*
yes, completely Fred.. stem covers, SPD platforms with reflectors, fenders, kickstand, blah blah.
It does what I want, the way I want, and weighs about 24lbs. I'm happy.
