Thanks Kiwi,
That confirms it, I need a new side stand. What are the options, is an American spec my best option, how easy source and to fit, how much will one set me back??
How do you attach photo's to a post??

- USA Falco stand
Gixer stand
VTR Firestorm stand
Fireblade stand
Bubseywoo stand
I believe the bubseywoo and Fireblade are straight bolt ons.
Have a search of the Falco and Aprilia Technical sections of the forum for more info.

Welcome to the site
Great choice of bike, it will grow and grow on you.
Best bike I've ever had and the most reliable, will stay with me for the duration.
I used the Bubseywoo stand off eBay, fits straight on, no electrics to mod. Mine has been absolutely fine, with no problems on quality.
Maxton rear shock is also a real bonus.
Just enjoy !

Looks like I'll go for the Bubseywoo then. Seems to be the most compatable with no mods to do.
Thanks to all for advise.

Anyone know if a side stand from a 2008 Fireblade is a straight forward fit for the Falco?

I have no experience of it, but if D-Rider says it goes straight on, I think you'll find it will !
That is unless there have been any changes on the most recent Blades.
P.S.
Ooops ..... looks like I might just have been a minute out on that post!
