Front and Rear Stands
Hope this isn't a silly question...
Looking for front and rear stands for my '01 900ss.
I know that the swingarm doesn't have openings for rear spools.
What do you guys use, where do i find them, how much am i going to pay, and do i have to make any mods????
Thanks!

Google Pit Bull Stands. They're not cheap, but they are the best.

Pit Bull Ducati 749/999 Rear Stand
This stand is designed specifically for use with non-spooled Ducati 999 and 749 motorcycles.
Are these the ones you are referring to?

Remember to look for a stand for the double sided swing arm for the rear. Some ducati's are SSSA and the super sports are DSSA, as well as some monsters, 999 etc.....

my 2 cents
I already had a rear stand but wanted a front stand just to get the front wheel off the cold concrete garage floor during winter. I bought this front stand. It works great. So great I bought a second. I have one for the 95 900SS CR and another on the 2005 MTS 1000S DS. For the price it can't be beat. It's very solid and well made.

I use my trusty old Lockhart Phillips stands. They're shown here in an old pic supporting my RC51 but I use these same stands on my 900SS. No mods should be necessary to use them on your bike.
Just be sure to use the correct size pin in the front stand to fit the hole in the steering stem on the underside of your lower triple clamp. And make sure the swingarm supporting pads on the rear stand are adjusted to fit snuggly against the swingarm.
I put some padding around the supporting arm of the front stand and taped it up to lessen the chance of scratching the front cowl or fender when installing/removing the stand.
Putting a soft cloth or small towel over the front fender when you install/remove the front stand is a good idea too.
I also use a thick plastic washer under the pin so as not to scratch up the under side of the lower triple clamp when rotating the forks side to side during front wheel changes or fork removal/repair work.
