Or, it takes 2 people to do it, one to straighten up the bike and the other to carefully put the stand under the spools.

Not liveable. So, I took my handy-dandy hacksaw, removed the license plate, and sliced it cleanly off behind the plate. I managed to keep it pretty clean and level. I was worried it would look terrible, but the functionality was needed for me. Turns out that it looks fine (and now works fine). No need to buy a fender eliminator kit as far as I can tell, and with the new seat cowl that we just added, I'm perfectly happy with how the rear of the bike looks. I love this little ninjette.

Thanks Alex, I use a pit bull stand just like yours and have been cursing that fender as well. I'm going to follow your lead on this one.
