Hi all, Was reading a thread about sidestands on AF1 and someone is Oz piped up about having a US bike.
So that got me wondering if the few US colour bikes here in the UK have US sidestands

Think we talked about this at Newark the other week.
When we looked it was thought that Ian's bike had the bog standard crap stand on.
But it may have been someone elses bike we were looking at, i've been to sleep since then.
I'm sure Ian will be along soon to sort it out.

i was under the impression that i had the US stand as my bike sits well and i've never had a problem or worry about parking it up.but after a team inspection at newark it looks like i've got the crap one.

Easiest way to tell is if the bracket has 3 bolt holes or 2.

3 = US, 2 = crap rest of world

Unless you cut off the extra hole like I did
