Those pickup stands are shit. You need pickups like this:

You can buy the different pick up arms? Seperately. I have a headlift stand aswell that I only use when the fairings are off for taking forks out or maintenance, hasn't worked without hitting the fairings on R1, RSV4 or ZX7. Hmm, maybe I'm the common element here..

Turn the pickup around or just use the plate on the caliper mount

Turning the pick up around won't work cause it'll still hit the stands frame, using the plate could work, would there be a risk of it slipping off though?
Il check it out Monday

... check carefully always (and no balancing).... but I meant to use the reversed pickups under the caliper casting... which would move the stand backwards ... depending on the diameter of the stand hole you might be able to pick up CHEAP (ie without fabrication) a replacement (longer) pin at Bunnings etc (gal water pipe ... solid alloy bar) ... I've got some high density nylon bar here 30mm and 28mm (from memory) but you have to use a lathe to mill it down (I use if for handle bar extenders/bar ends and wheel changing helper 1570 see handle bar and under bike :) ) ... I picked it up a nylon place in 7hills for 20bucks ...

If they iz Kaneg (http://www.kaneg.com.au/categories/Bike-Stands/Front-Stands/), can't you just use the rubber prong options (http://www.kaneg.com.au/products/Front-Stand-Conversion-Kit.html)?

Could you add some packing to the pinned flat to lift it up more and fabricate a longer pin (upside down bolt) ???

Anderson pins (http://andersonstands.com/front_stands.htm) that Nick mentioned are great, they might fit in a Kaneg (or whatever you have), call Anderson and ask for diameter dimension, think you can just buy the pins? Or have a go at fabricating your own? Would a suitably sized bolt, with the ends covered in a few layers of plastidip work?

I measured mine, and the round Anderson pins are 40.3mm across.

Looks line I'm going to have to make something up custom, I may just end up using the head lift stand with the larger pin.

I've emailed Kaneg I'll see if they come back with any options
