42107 stand question

[Ajf350d]

Just purchased and built the Ducati, which I think is a good build.

on mine though, the stand seems to not align properly with the rear wheel and axle hole.
I cannot see anything wrong in the build so is this normal?
it will fit, but seems forced and slightly twisted.

It is not a good stand.  I agree.  It works, but it does twist and contort things a bit.   I think I saw similar remarks in some of the reviews.  It may be entirely possible that you built it correctly and the problems you see are just due to poor design....

Thanks, good to hear!

I knew it wasn’t very stable but wasn’t sure if I might have missed a step. Checked again and pretty sure it IS just the design.
There seem to be several alternatives builders have come up with so might look at one of those.

Hi there,

I just built my Ducati today, and also found the stand not very stable, not to mention it is not very good-looking... So I searched for a better solution and found quite a simple but efficient idea :

I am pretty sure that something better can be made, but here we have something anyone can do easily with the parts available in the set.

By the way, when you are playing with it, you can even put the crutch away on the motorbike :
