How doesn't it fit?

Most are adjustable to account for different swing arm widths.

Can you post a pic of the stand? Are you being potato and trying to use a front stand to lift the rear of the bike?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

If it's anything like mine then you have to basically rest one arm against the swingarm and then pull the other one into position without dislodging the first. Pain in the ass, but then again, I bought the cheapest.

I just hold my bike upright and pop the hooks under, but to each their own. Thumbs Up
