Hello, I'm looking at a front paddock stand for my Monster Evo. Every paddock stand I look at seems to supply 13-18mm pins. Does anyone know the size as I just looked under the bike and measured the diameter which is about 25mm? If so/not will it still work, I assume the container for the pin will stop a smaller one from being an issue, but I don't want to buy something that is wrong. I did find one company selling one labelled 'monster evo' (ConStands Motorcycle Paddock Stand Front Head Lift Ducati Monster 1100 Evo 11-13 red but it's exactly the same as their standard one which comes with 13-18mm pins, though it doesn't mention the pin size and they don't sell extra pins, so I suspect it's just this standard and they've labelled it at the site as Ducati and I could buy their other one which comes with more pins to fit other bikes. thanks.

I ended up increasing the diameter of the fingers with some hose. This then allowed me to put them under the fork legs and allow me to extract the front axle.
