I agree with everyone here. I did the bypass thing then removed the nub after a track day (turn 6 at NHIS works well for this).

The one thing I do like about the stand is that it is sturdy. I have been turning my bike around on it since new and it has held up just fine. I like the idea of the aluminum ones but fear that they would fail if I tried doing this. Anyone try turning their bike around on an aluminum one?

On another note, is the bike correctly sprung for your or her weight? Have you set your sags or adjusted the suspension height? Those can help keep the parts off the deck also, not to mention handle better. Just a thought.
