Why bother with the HF stand at all?

Because it was $25. I figured whattaheck. It still might work on some bikes. Maybe the F2 swingarm did fit in the grove but it hit the sprocket bolts I think. I ended up get a "glossy red front stand" from ebay for my wifes birthday. The following year she got a "glossy black rear stand" for my old F2. way better than the HF stand in the pick and only a couple dollars more.

All I have are some PSR stands I got with a broken down ZX6R. The rear is clearly only meant to hook onto spools but the front has those rubber pads mentioned earlier. I'll have to see if it is wide enough to fit around the wheel under the swingarm.

When I tried it the first time I just lined up the spool hooks between the swingarm and the wheel lol.
