Just be mindful if/when you buy a stand that you get the right one. Although a stand for a 250 will fit, they ran 17" wheels which means if you fit it to your Model8, which has 18" wheels, it barely lifts the bike off its wheels. The problem then is that there is insufficient weight on the stand and when you try to roll the bike off the stand it often just skates along the ground.
