I have yet to try one that didn't hit the bodywork. If I have to take the body work off (Honda! like 19 fasteners just for the for the lowers..) to raise it I would just jack it up and stick a couple of jack stands under it. no really.

My old fart brain thinks that for the price of a pit bull triple tree lift, I could buy a 1 ton engine hoist and put a lift pin on the end of the boom. In fact with a little creative thought the whole damn bike could be lifted. hum..

My 998 lower triple doesn't have a hole for a pin, so I went with the one that just wraps around the lower triple. Besides, they make the best single-sided swingarm stands out there - MUCH better than my pit-bull in that the arm is longer which means better leverage.

If you are not going to go with a triple tree stand, then get one with the two rubber knobs that the bottom of the fork rest on. It will be more solid than one with pins in the bottom of the forks.

I've had the pins in the fork legs for years. (I've never pulled my fork legs off at the track though.)
