Pitbull rear stand pin for Ducati Hypermotard

[jeantarrou]

As the title states, looking for a pin for Pitbull rear stand, 2008 Hypermotard 1100. I don't know all the other Ducs this would fit but I'm pretty sure the wheel on this hyper is on lots and lots of other bikes.

So, anyone got one kicking around?

I think I have the wheel side so you can change sprockets

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, I've only used this stand on the left side of the bike and have no experience using it on the right. One time i did check to see if it'd work and the way the pin was oriented I have to push the handle forward to lift the bike and the handle won't clear the right side footpeg. It just barely gets in the way, any idea if the wheel side pin is longer and therefore would push that handle out further to clear the footpeg?

I'm not sure, I would contact Pitbull directly, they are great with product questions

My Pitbull came with two pins of different sizes, one for each side.

Using on the left side of the bike, I push the handle forward. Using on the right side, push the handle back. That's how it works on my '05 MTS anyway.

Ok, good info, I'll contact pitbull.

Short story is a right sided pin won't work on this bike.

Long story, the stand I have is specifically for a BMW and essentially I'm using it backwards. The guy I spoke with was SUPER helpful and because the stand is made for a right-side-drive BMW it can only work on the left of my left-side-drive Ducati and must be pushed backwards because the handle is welded on and I can't rotate it.

Going to pull the trigger on a pin direct from Pitbull, it's $29 and I figure the least I can do for the great customer service.

Thanks anyways Ducman.
