Ideally, I’d like to use something like what they use in MOTO GP… A leg orientation that doesn’t interfere when removing calipers would be nice… I want something that brings real satisfaction once I own it
Once you start listing wants, there’s no end to it. Actually, there are about three racing front stands I’ve been eyeing. If you have any information, please let me know (*´ω｀*)
Does this have height adjustment? Does it work with 18-inch and 19-inch wheels too? I’m incredibly curious about this. It’s not exactly an easy price to casually try out¥89,890 (tax included)
If anyone feeling a bit fancy wants to give it a try, please do (*´ω｀*)
The most standard design with official manufacturer backing, so it’s really reassuring. What’s interesting is the nut on the height adjustment knob. I wonder if the pipe diameter has an R-curve machined into it?
Plus, there’s plenty of clearance on the front pipe, so chock attachment and removal should be easy. Though it does protrude beyond the lift, which gives me a slightly uneasy feeling… or maybe not.
You really can’t know if something is truly good or bad until you try it in your own environment.
I’m sure people would say just go with J-TRIP or Ethos… but stands are something you don’t want to get wrong, and they last for ages. It might even be your last stand ever? When you think about it that way, you want to get it right…
Someone go buy that Harris and let me know.
Mechanical Thoughts & Equipment Analysis.
Subject: Analyzing the structural rigidity and precision of modern heavy-duty racing front stands. Details: Happy Friday night from the Decoboco tech bay! For our second entry tonight, we dive into the engineering behind racing front stands (stem-under lift type). Lifting heavy classic Japanese bikes on flimsy, thin-piped stands causes terrifying frame flex and instability when pulling front forks or servicing steering head bearings. Modern front stands built with 31.8φ thick-walled steel tubing completely eliminate structural deflection. Verdict: When paired with precision-machined adapter pins that fit steering stem pivots with zero play, the bike glides upward effortlessly. Achieving 100% zero-flex stability at both front and rear is the ultimate foundation for high-precision, damage-free front-end servicing!
