A mate of mine has one of them which I borrowed last weekend to adjust my forks. The Tuono, and no doubt the rest of the range has a larger head tube than the pins that are supplied, but in practice this is not a problem.

The only thing I spotted about that supplier is that they keep changing the price, sometimes its £40, then comes down to £36 - but I going to be buying one.
 
I have the micron version of that...

pro's
cheap
enables removal of f/wheel & fork legs

con's
ideally needs to be used in conjunction with a rear paddock stand
no access to steering head bearings (which need checking regularly imho)
fiddly, and can be a pain in the arse to use
can easily drop out (on removal) and damage top of front mudguard (personal experience:banghead)
 
I just use me trusty abba stand for lifting the bike & a normal front paddock stand to lift the front. That one looks like it'll hold the front up better for wheel changes etc and less chance if it being knocked off.
 
I got one of these for the rear. Very sturdy & reassuring also makes moving the bike around and storing in confined spaces simple.

I've got one of those stands, I got it for my Blade and it worked well. Not so easy on the Tuoldo as you have to strip a lot of stuff to get the headstock clear. I like the look of the abba stand
 
+1 on the abba stand! Used a friends and i'm totally sold. Safe for one person to use and keeps both wheels off the ground. Can even grease you swinging arm hassle free! :)

Check ebay there's often a few going on there. Have to buy the aprilia fitting kit for just under £20 but worth every penny if your going to be doing much work yourself

'kin ell mate....did your cat come from Patrick Moore's house, or has he just been peeping through too many keyholes?
Cracking pic btw...bet he's a bit bigger these days?

That cat of ours is a right royal pain in the arse...his name is Parker (as in 'nosey') we were about to rename him.... '*******'...cos he gets fecking everywhere
 
My two are growing up real fast now he's a real daddy's boy & constantly 1.) Hungry 2.) looking for attention. Very vocal & makes all sorts of weird & wonderful sounds. Should be taking him to the vets soon as I'm getting a bit concerned about some of the positions he's ending up in whilst they're fighting.

She's much more independant & is now spending most of the day in the garden stalking chickens & trying to catch sparrows. Don't think it will be too long before I'm getting them delivered.
