front stand

Brogins · 15-Dec-2005, 15:33

Guys, what's the best FRONT stand for the 999??
I have the (cheap) motrax one, but is a pain to set it right and most of the times, the supports slide behind the fork, touching the brake calipers support (which are integrated part of the lower fork piece)..
Thanks

I've got the Harris stainless one. Not a bad price and it works for me.

I use this one, solid as a rock, fits under the headstock, you do not need to remove any fairing panels, one man operation and allows you to turn the headstock if you need to.

Purchased from Techmoto (before change of ownership) and cost about £150 ish I seem to remember.

Ciao Kev, I don't understand how it works...
I can see the one that Keefy is using, it will go in the holes at the bottom of the lower forks - but the one you have how can support the lower fork allowing wheel disassemble? ?
