Hey guys,

Does anyone know if the headlift stand works with the NC35 and what size pin it needs?
Should I go with the front headlift stand or should I just get a normal front stand? All i really need it for is to take the wheels off.. I know it's cheaper to just pay someone to do it but I'm planning to keep it for years to come so it may pay itself off, and photos will look better with the stand too :D

Thanks alot

Honestly cant answer the question but if you have not bought one yet, i would suggest an abba stand. easier to use with and leaves lots more space to work on the bike.

used ones can be fairly cheap on ebay.

I got one from ebay, came from Germany and was under £50. Bloody brillant and much easier to use than a normal one.

Get yourself a decent headstock stand. I don't know the pin diameter for an rvf, just measure the yoke hole and leave 1-2mm of slack.

You won't be able to remove the forks with a normal front axle stand, very valuable when it comes time!
