I have a dual (forked) kickstand on Tempest. I put a custom paint job on my frames, why tear it up and leave it lying around like detritus? I still have a spare stand in reserve, and I find it very awkward to not be able to just flick it down and up again with my left foot. With a dual stand you simply move the bike forward and it goes up. Simplemente. A rear stand doesn't look like it will handle having a load over the back wheel to me, so it's not practical with baskets/panniers/saddlebags IMO.
