Now I know this is not a Ducati, but its parked close to a relative of a Ducati, my DB2.
I just wanted to show you my inexpensive front stand I made from 1 inch black pipe, available from most hardware stores, i.e. Home Depot. It just screws together in about 5 minutes and when you are done, you just unscrew it for storage.
The total cost was about $48. My R1 has been hanging like this for about 2 weeks while I put Race Tech Gold Valves in the forks.
