Lifts the front of my 1199 Panigale but how are you supposed to get the axle out? The bars of the stand block the front axle.

From Pit Bull: You'll just need to turn the handlebars in order to have axle clearance. On some bikes, it'll be wide open whereas on others you'll just need to turn the handlebars a bit.

durable: These are great stands. They work well and are extremely durable, I've been using mine for 15 years - heavy track usage. Also easy to convert between different bikes by changing the pin - so once you buy this stand you'll be set for whatever bike you're riding now as well as into the future. Next time at the track take a look at how many of the rider have pitbull stands - there's good reason for this!

The only front stand you will ever need!: This stand is very well built and very durable. I only use pit-bull stands for my motorcycles now, and will never but the cheap knock offs again. This stand will last you for years!
