If you must buy one, get one that fits under the yoke. At least that way you can remove forks.

And also note that front stands that go under the forks have a tendancy to allow your bike to fall off. It's happened 3 times with me, luckily I didn't damage my bikes.

You'd be best with an ABBA style stand coupled with a front stand bit IMO.

Mine will never fall off its Abba stand, because it's heavier than the bike

You ARE using it in conjunction with a rear stand aren't you?

You can't use it by itself.
