Front paddock stand

[DanS]

I was going repack my front wheel bearings over the weekend but my stand doesn't work with the fz8 forks. What do you guys use?
This is what I have -

If you contact the blackwidow rep or dealer you should(might) be able to get the different attachments for it that way no need for a new one

No I haven't tried it with the rear on a stand. The problem is the pins are so long the go all the way to the axle and seem to go into the forks at a bad angle. This stand worked just fine with my previous Suzuki

Thanks I will try that
Edit: Ok I got online and looked at all the black widow front stands, called the distributor and I was told that none of the parts are interchangeable from one model to the next and that I would need to buy another stand. Here's some pics of the different fork fittings for the different stands they sell. They all look interchangeable to me.
