How d'ya like this front end stand?!

[rivi7777]

OK. I've been searching for a front end stand for my tire eater. I was about to pop for a Pitbull front (I have the Pitbull rear) but found the left mount point comes dangerously close to the ABS sensor. Instead, I opt for the Kern-Stabi stand - which is designed for the KR/KS. I just received it am very pleased with its simplicity, ease of use, and adjustability.

Then, I happen upon this for $26.00!!!



That's cheaper than the special 22mm hex key I needed to buy to remove the front wheel!

Touratech's description:
When on the centerstand, the R1200GS is very heavily weight-biased to the front. Even with the front wheel removed, it is impossible for one person to hold the front forks off the ground while installing the wheel.

The removal-jack folds in half for easier storage. Includes a plate for soft-surfaces that doubles as a brown bottle opener for after the job is done. And it can be used for a kickstand plate for parking in sand or hot asphalt.

Could this item possibly work for the KR? Very cool if in fact it'll work on the K...

Nice..do you need a second person to get it on and off... ...that'd be a bit of a pain.

I've been thinking about one of these for my RR... http://www.kenma.com.au/public/ven_BS.html no good for taking a wheel off though.
