Which type is it. Under forks or up to headstock?

Most of them go under the fork legs

It sits under the bottom of the fork legs like in this picture of my bike:

i have one similar to that - they go as shown above - but make sure you put the bits which go under the front wheel in the correct way when assembling the stand - i did mine wrong and it sort of pushed the bike off the stand as it lifted - you'll know if its wrong when you try to use it and its simple to change again.

be careful of knocking the steering too, especially when cleaning around the front wheel or the bars because it can become unstable - if you are removing the front wheel or lots of cleaning around it or whatever - i found it a good idea to ratchet strap the bars to the back of the bike in an 'X' formation (right bar to left of bike, left bar to right of bike) not too tight though - just enough to stop you from moving the steering! this is made easier by having a rack on the back - but shouldnt be too hard anyway. and its not liekly to 'fall' off he stand then unless you push the whole bike.

^^^^^

same as mine and i have decided it is cheap shite. The rear one is tops tho Thumbs Up
Ive found the safest way to use it is to slot one of the pegs into the front spindle/hub. Feels a lot more secure this way(although no good for removing wheel). The forks dont sit on the pegs so im guessing the right way is one peg under the fork one peg under the adjuster casting.??

I've never had a problem with my front stand, its really stable no matter what you are doing. That said my stands are Micron ones (as you can see in the pictures) and not the M&P one that this thread was created about.
