Side Stand...

#31 Post by GregD-UK » Tue Oct 26, 2010 9:56 pm

Hi all,

I got a 2nd hand US one off AF1 site awhile back, paid around $75.00 incl p+p, got away with the import stealth tax :smt002

It's like three times as strong as the UK version. The camber on the US roads is way more pronounced that any over here. Would recommend the US one over the rest, had to grind off abit of the mount, this wasn't an issue. Lean angle more, which is better :smt003
My warranty is the clear/smoked tail lights around the corner!!

Direct comparison :smt003

Although I have to add, mine is lowered at the front and raised at the rear:

I kept the third bolt - you can anchor a tanker on it now :smt002

Thanks for those pics, especially like Dyzio's comparison, really shows the difference. Looks like I will have to try the US stand (if I can find out where to order one from, last time I looked AF1 pointed me to nowhere :smt017 )

I have currently got a stand on that I bought from Treetops off here, but don't know from which bike it came off. It's still not good though coz I still have to be very very careful how and where I park up. Even worse when attending rallies in the usual farm fields.

Oh and a Postal Order has come through the door this morning!!! :smt003 .
So my dramas are now over (as long as it gets cashed successfully).

cheers all.
