Going off to get a pitbull front stand tomorrow, but I have got a bit of a problem. I cant take my bike to the shop and try it out and I am confused with the figment guide from pitbull. They say a #7 fits all buells except: Blast #2 RS #8 S2 94-95 no fitment XB9s & XB12s #2 Pitbull fitment guide: http://www.pit-bull.com/docs/fitting_chart_pins.pd f So my question is the lower triple different from XB lightnings to Firebolts?? Or is this poor Buell knowledge at work? Any body have a front pitbull for there XB? What size do you use? Thanx guys |

Another silly question. Will the front stand be tall enuf for use with a ULY? I I have my eye on the "newfront stand" http://www.pit-bull.com/catalog/product_info.php?c Path=23_177&products_id=64&osCsid=8036386124ab9e83 97291a22c9d26c58 |

you will need the #2 pin You will need to take off the "Beak" before you use it on a Uly. Just for your info. I sell the front stands for 140.35 |

Got the pitbull, but I have a few more questions. 1. The #2 pin is loose in the bottom of the triple, it wobbles back in forth when I insert it. I would assume it would have been a tighter fit? 2. My forks are very hard to turn when I lifted it up. More than when I lift it with a floor jack. Is this normal? |

I have to confirm that loose fit that you described on the #2 Pitbull pin on the XB lower. You can still turn the front end and work on it though. Always thought it was kinda sloppy myself. Still thinking of a brass bushing but heck, it's been working a couple years for me now with no ill effects. |

Its loose with the #2. Take the pin out the stand and put it in with your hand. Very loose, sloppy. I figure if we had so many pins to choose from there would be one that more fitted. I figure the stand/bike would be a lot more solid if it were fitted better. |

I think if it were a tigher fit you would risk having it get stuck in there. |
