i have a pitbull front stand - the pin type that goes in the bottom of the lower triple clamp.

i checked with the pitbull web site, but mv is not listed (why am i not surprised).

anyone here know which pin can be used with the mv? specifically, i'm looking for the fitment to the f4 1000.

thanks,
alex

I have the same one I use it for my R1 .. but I dont think MV supports that stand... the ones Ive seen for MV (Iam looking to order one myself as well) it goes under the brake calipers like this

but Ive seen better quality stands but the concept is the same

There is this one that claims it fits MV and it looks http://www.redracingparts.com/en/english.htm#english/motorbikesmotorcycles/productsandcomponents/frontstands.htm but I havent verified it

yeah, i've seen those as well.

i guess i'll just have to get under there and measure the hole diameter myself. also need to check the clearance to the front fender and the fork brace.

Is there a hole in the F4 clamp, cause there sure isn't on the Brutale? I have seen adapters that utilize a plate that grabs the underside of the lower-triple clamp, but not for pitbull.

Pit Bull makes a front stand for Ducatis w/o a hole in the clamp. It's like a two tined garden claw.

But $165 for a PART to make a stand I bought for $150 work with my bike seems steep. You know I'll wind up buying it, anyway, but I'm certainly going to complain first.

ack! there is no hole.

hmmm...this is going to be more difficult.

(found this in the f4 750 service manual - maybe a pin or button like this one can be added to the pitbull?)

Does anyone know what type of front stand this is?

I also wish there was a hole so I can use my Woodcraft stand...

perhaps somebody can develop a magnesium unit with a hole in it? dream on...

Front stand, service stands, rear stands and sources are on FAQ:

I use the factory wind up stand also seen on redracing.
