Triple Tree Stand:
21mm pin
you have to remove the horn, it's in the way! And you have to have the rear lifted first... don't lift the front by itself

most stands come with several pins, most do not come with the 21mm so you have to order it separately, it's held in b a kotter pin, just pull the kotter, install teh 21mm pin and replace the kotter, that simple.
good video here, lengthy, but detailed:

if it's a new tire, give it a couple hundred miles before doing any heavy leaning... just piece of mind to scrub them in (big debate, not needed, needed, etc... but I do it anyways)... also depending on how flat spotted your old tire was, the new one will just feel different until you get used to it... like a new bike, it will just fall into the corners easier. As long as the pressures are correct, not sure what else to look for

Did you say $250 for a front tyre and $60 to change it ?
I get charged $90 to change both, up from $70. (including chain adjustment and rear wheel alignment)
You'd be better off ordering in your tyres if they charge that much :

Are you the guy who dented the rim on a low side?
If you are & your new wheel now 'feels funny' I'd reccomend you get the forks & triple clamp checked to ensure they are straight!

"don't lift the front by itself."dart
Dart1963 is this because it might roll on you? I was looking to get just the front stand to save money. Maybe I could put two jacks under the foot pegs like you do prior to lifting the front? Or could I just put chucks on both sides of the rear tire so it doesn't move?

it's because it will tip over on you... the rear stand is stable two points on either side of the rear... adding the front makes it a three point pick up, if that makes sense...
if you were to just lift the front by the triple, the bike would tip one side or the other, as you would only have two points supporting the bike (stand and rear tire)...

I just received my Venom triple tree stand. Of course it wasn't shipped with a 21mm pin. I called some of the bike parts places in my area. The pin was going to cost half as much as the stand. So I took the 13mm pin (about 1/2" diameter) and long 1/2" socket with the socket barrel diameter measuring just slightly under 21mm. I attached the socket to the 13mm pin (it fits nicely on the pin) and used the socket to insert in the triple tree hole. It works well and you don't need to remove the horn. There is enough height with socket attached to pin so the horn is not an obstacle. The angle of the lift arm is changed due to socket height difference when compared to just using a pin. This allows for lifting with the horn in place. You will notice the lift arm will press against underside of the light but with not enough force to damage.
