front wheel stand for busa

I have a Pit Bull for the front and I would say it is a stout, quality piece. The Pit Bull uses a pin that slides up the steering stem and lifts the bike from there. The result is that you can completely remove your front forks for maintenance if required. I paid $175 including the pin at the dealership. Different bikes use different pins so make sure you get the right one.Try morepowerracing.com or motorcyclesuperstore.com
Just got the Redlines from an oRg sponsor. I'm very happy, I have had the bike up several times with no help. 300 front and rear industrial with spools for swingarm shipped.

Pit Bull has several front stands, which should I be looking at? I see the Newfront stand and the Forklift and Converter combo stand, and finally the Forklift Converter stand.
Also the PDF for the "pins" says its a close fit - anything I should be worried about?
Forklift Converter
Converts Forklift Front to lift from steering stem of bike.
Forklift and Converter Combination
Forklift and Converter combined to save you money.
Newfront Stand
Lifts from steering stem of bike to allow front wheel and fork leg removal.

A fork lift stand will work.

I was looking at the T-rex Front stem stand and wondering if this was necessary?
Clip from their ebay add. "Some models, like ZX10r, ZX12r, Hayabusa and GSXR600/750 may require the removal of the front fairing."
My bike is not lowered so it should be fine but I don't want to waste time/money if I gotta strip my bike just to put it up on the stand.
Anybody got one of these?
Lowering shouldn't matter on the Redline industrial stand I purchased. It used the small opening under the front forks to lift and never goes near the area between the fender and nose of the bike.
Someone posted up recently that they modified the stand to work on lowered bikes.(bigoltool @ Jun. 02 2007,13:23)I was looking at the T-rex Front stem stand and wondering if this was necessary?

With a conventional front fork lift you have to be really sure the lift stays on the bottom of the forks. I have had the pit bull slip twice since using it. Seeing the Cycle Cat theory it is easy to understand why. Their design seems to make since to me, so that's why I am going to try it.
My Redline has pins that fit in the opening in the bottom of the forks. Seems stable and secure to me.
