It is near impossible to get the rearstand supplied by MV into the rear axle. The FG Gubellini (Italy) Stand for MV Agusta works amazingly well and allows lifting and lowering by one person without that person touching the bike. Available through www.redracingparts.com, Munroe Motors in San Francisco, F by F, and elsewhere.Matty said:or is it damn near impossible to get the rearstand into the rear axle?
