Front For Lift Stand

DMP S-Spec FRONT FORK LIFT STAND

I have seen mixed reviews. Has anyone had any experience with this specific stand for our bikes? Please offer your thoughts.

That's the one I use. I don't have any downfalls to it.. Seems to fit the bottom of the forks just fine. Had my bike up for about 3 weeks, didn't move on the stand and kept it pretty sturdy. Hope this helps.

Awesome!

Thanks Tatt. I've been looking for one for the front that doesn't require any modification or large expense. This seems like the clear choice. I am going to use the Habor Freight Swingarm Stand for the rear. Tired of the first hundred miles or so of the odd ride after the bike has been sitting kickstand style all winter.

Could check Out the motocentric ones at mc superstore. They are relatively cheap and work good for me.

No problem. I picked up the DMP S-Spec front and rear stands for $50 on Craigslist. Barely used as well!

What size pin?

Anyone know what size pin to use with the triple tree stand? Was planning to get one, but didn't know what size pin to get.

Did you find an answer? I am also looking into a stand and have the same question. Also if you have bought one, what brand and opinion do you have on your's?

I never got the answer... until nismos14 responded above. So thanks for asking!

I bought this CHN from Amazon:
[ame=http://www.amazon.com/CHN-FW-1-Front-Wheel-Stand/dp/B0050H39OW/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1379980053&sr=8-10&keywords=chn]Amazon.com: CHN FW-1 Front Wheel Stand: Automotive[/ame]


It comes with 5 pins: 13, 15, 16.5, 17, 18. The 18 is a little small, so
nismos14's answer of 21mm seems right.

You can buy a 21mm pin from Amazon too:

I haven't used my lift yet. Will probably do so in a few months to replace my tire. It looks like it'll be good enough for the occasional use. If you plan to use it every day, I suggest something beefier than the CHN.

Just saw this on Amazon and thought it was mislabeled. Looks like it lifts the front end from the bottom of the forks. Any thoughts? I already have a rear, looks like a bargain at $30 + shipping to keep the front off the ground

I've seen this fork stand on sale at Cycle Gear for $30:
TRACKSIDE - Front Stand - Front Stands - Stands - Accessories - CycleGear - Cycle Gear

Fork stands are not as flexible as tree stands. Makes it impossible to work on the forks and gets in the way if you want to work on the brakes.
