Front Stand? - Ducati.ms

Which front stands work with the HM?

I'm interested in one that lifts from the steering stem.
Does the Pit-Bull front end stand work on the HM? Don't know if the front fender will inhibit the use of the Pit-Bull. Does anyone know?

According to Pit-Bull, the front stand will work and will not interfere with the front fender!

standard pin plus #2 adapter

Pit-Bull works great, never had a problem with mine.

They also have a trailer restraint that is fantastic for anyone who trailers or trucks their around.

If you get a Pit Bull front stand let me know how it works. I have their rear stand, very nice quality albeit pricy.

I've used them for years on all sorts of bikes and won't use anything else.

I have a stand made by "special Parts", made in Italy and very good quality as well.

Bloody brilliant for hanging brake calipers and front wheel and fork removal.

Back stand is a bike rack breed with bearings which is also very good, any good name brand and you wont go wrong.

Definitely go with the centre stem type and not a fork base one.

... sorry the old skank is a bit dirty

I have the Pit Bull front stand with the #2 adaptor and it woks great.
Easy to lift the bike, very steady once in place and clears everything.

I would loosen the axle nut an the pinch bolts before lifting, so you don't take any chances, but I do that with any front stand.
