No poins for a CBR1000RR
I love the service at Fortnine. However, they need to include the information on which pins come with this stand. Beware, this stand only comes with 13, 15, 16.5, 17mm and 18mm pins. I have tried to find other pins and they are not available. Vortex isn't even willing to help and Fortnine only sells what is on their website.
The supplied pins did work for my GSXR 750 and Ninja 300.
If you have a CBR1000RR, you will need to make an adapter or make your own 23mm pin. Once I made the adapter, the stand worked flawlessly. It was easy to lift the bike and did not hit the front fairings.
A good quality product, with limited pin selection.

Check size of you yoke hole before ordering
It is a well built stand but it needs a simpler way to pick your correct size pin if not in the 5 sizes offer. Looked around to buy a 27mm for my ZX10R gen 3 but never found where to buy it. I eventually just made my own since my job has a machine shop. So if the correct pin for you bike is listed, buy it. If not, it hard to recommend.

Needs Height Adjustability
This will work perfect for a shorter bike however anything taller such as an FJ-09 or an adventure bike, it'll barely unspring the suspension let alone lift the wheel. added a couple 2x6's under and it lifted the bike and works.

Good stand!
I've been using the rear stand from Vortex for a while. To help with front tire and fork maintenance I've purchased this rear stand and I could not be happier with it. Even though it's universal, it fits my SV like an OEM product. The bike is very stable when on the two stands and I don't have to be afraid of tipping it over when say torquing the axle nuts.

Disappointing
Bought this for my 2020 ZX6R, and despite being a "universal" product, it does not work with my bike - basically just lifts it up by the front fairing assembly rather than the triple tree, which causes some concern when it comes to stability and whether or not that part of the bike can even support that much weight. FortNine also not willing to let me return the item as of course, I had assembled it before trying it out on my bike. Stuck with a $200 paper weight now!

It lifts
I use it for my mt10. Works just fine. It's light, easy to use. Feels confidently stable in lift position.

Zero if I could
Have to put it together to see if it will work with your bike, but at that point you can’t return it when it doesn’t. The geometry of the lift limits what it can work with. Very disappointed with Fortnine on this one especially because it doesn’t come with the right pin for many bikes.

Are the larger pins available through Fortnine?
5 pins included fits most applications 13, 15, 16.5, 17, and 18 mm. We do not sell the other pin sizes, you would need to contact Vortex directly.

Does this work with tall front end ADV bikes? 21" wheel, 210mm fork, etc.
where can i buy just the pins for this stand?
did you try calling the source? I'm sure the manufacturer will sell you just pins.

Can you please tell me the height of the pin from the ground in the lifted position?
It doesnt work that way. Once the pin is inserted in the bike and you lift the bike until the stand rests on the floor, depends on what bike you are lifting as it is hinged. Get what I mean? To answer your question using my gsxr, I would have to disassemble the front end to measure it and still you wouldnt know the correct answer because it wouls differ for your bike. I can measure it as it is shown in the picture....as shown in the picture with the arms straight out it is 30-3/4"
