US Sidestand import

The trick is to have a friend/relative in the US who will forward stuff onto you without any invoice/sales information and under plain cover. Either that, or get to know someone who travels regularly to the US. UK customs are very quick to seize on imports from the US and charge large amounts of duty.

There good sir you have the better of me for in truth I have oft been, as you did so floridly state..... A GIT

Unlike others who aspire only to Gimpish stature

On a separate note just remember I work for a 3 letter American organisation and its not GIT !

I'd be very interested in a group buy....
Either that or I'm going down the gixxer route.
Group buy?

GIXER !

That's one thing Suzuki got right ..... the Gixer sidestand

Well really, gsxr....

If we are using the wrong name in the first place then surely the spelling is neither here nor there....?
But ye, it does look like a very fine stand, would put my mind at rest for the falco.

Who cares how it's spelled - Suzuki make the best stands for the Falco (and then inexplicably stick them on gixers)

As is normal - I disagree

I currently have one fitted on my own bike - and it's going very soon

I did have a bid as i'm still on the standard side stand but if you want it i won't bid again, so a 2004 fireblade stand fits i'll look for one of them instead. sorry for the confusion and bid.
