Looks safe.

Not that specific brand, but that type for sure. Google Baxley Stand....it's one of the best on this side of the world.

I have a similar wheel grabber built into my secure bike store and it works great. Just need to Take care not to give it too much throttle when riding onto the clamp.

I prefer the ones that you can still turn the front wheel, makes it better for matainence......but that does look pretty good.

Those are really versatile though especially if you track your bike. You ride right onto it.

^ This ... Great for track days - roll in, roll out. (For the garage though, I prefer stands that lift from the lower triple.)

i have both, constand and biketower.
constand works fine for me- fits my scooter and the duc.
bike-tower is great also!

I have a Baxley Stand and it's fantastic! You won't have any issues with Baxley.

hey karrl, did you have to cut your fairing to use this lift?

I use two of these in my trailer - they work very well - with sticky Pirelli tires, you may need to mount them or have the wife stand on the front of the chock to get it back out.

Hey,

Recently purchased a front and rear stand from Andersons. The rear stand is great for moving the bike around.

Hey this looks awesome.... Looks like you could spin 90 degrees with the front wheel stationary....? Is that right? What's the build quality like with the castors?

Yes, you can move the bike around 360 degrees with the front wheel stationary.

There is a brake on 2 out of 3 wheels.

Only downside so far:

When lifting the bike on to the stand you must make sure the front 2 castors are face the same direction. If you don't the bike will lean one way or the other making it difficult to push the stand down.

I use the Acebike Steady Stand.

Anyone using a head-lift stand on their 1199? I've always preferred the kind with a pin that goes into the bottom of the triple clamp and lifts from there so you can pull/move the forks. Problem is none of my fronts will work on the Panigale due to interference with the fairing. There's a small plug that pops out under the triple clamp so you could get a pin in there, but there's not much room to work with due to the shape of the bottom front of the fairing under the inlet ducts.
