Pit Bull forklift front stand

Mika · 05-19-2009, 01:38 PM

I tried this on my Brutale last night. I don't think it will work due to the shape of the bottoms of the forks (not square enough/no 90 degree angle). My F4 is in the shop so not sure if its forks are shaped the same.

i actually put mine under the point where the calipers bolt onto the bike. It allows for a flat spot, also the removal of the calipers and removal of the tire. You can see what i mean in this picture from my latest track day. Hope it helps

Pitbull front triple clamp front stand does not work for MV's it requires a hole at the bottom of the triple which our bikes don't have.

These front stands works

I use it on the front of my F4-1000R, works ok. Rear must be on the stand and the front requires more muscle if you are using the factory rear stand with no wheels. Release the axle pinch bolts before putting the bike on the stand.
