[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 108671, member: 38"] OK so whilst on the subject of stands, side ones in particular. I have used the front one for many years, but extended 3 inches, and they have never let me down, however they have always felt precarious, so followed someone's suggestion a few years ago and went to Evilbay and bought stand from a VFR800 Honda. Below is a picture of it installed. I have now bought several of these (20-25 US$ often shipping included) and fitted to several bikes, they take about 10 min's to install, depending on how anal you are. The front bolt is the existing one on the LH rear footrest plate which is 3/8 in, and the hole is 10mm. If you can live with that then just install using that bolt and do it up quite tight, lean the bike onto it "carefully and rotate the stand into the appropriate position and drill one more hole for the rear bolt. Put the bolt in. Job done. Record is 8 minutes, longest about 15..... [ATTACH type="full"]28241[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
