I had the short diamond. It was great looking and I never had a problem with it until I lowered my seat and then lowered the pegs with the buells. It was then in the way of the shifter and had to go. I now have a modified stock stand.
I always carry a puck like the dealers use in the hump for parking on soft surfaces, so I cannot comment on its standing ability versus stock. I very rarely use the puck.
I received lots of comments about the stand.
I should add, however, that I personally would probably have not bought the stand at its listed price. I got mine at a much better deal in a trade.
