I used the blade spring and had no problem fitting it with a spring puller. The spring is slightly longer, but fits and works fine when connected to the Falco bracket.

Using the correct tool? That's cheating...

Looked in the toolbox but can't decide which one is the "Spring Puller" is that the Hammer or the Chisel? ':smt017'

LOL.

Nothing like having a tool that'll pull springs easily - I struggled with this for years - improvising with screwdrivers and pliers etc.
..... then Aldi came to the rescue with this set of tools for a couple of quid (or so) - the tool at the top is perfect for doing springs.

Might add, it was an exhaust spring puller

I measured the (converted) GSXR stand on my Falco today, and it was pretty much exactly 250mm/25cm from pivot to heel of stand. So it seems like the Blade/GSXR stands are pretty much interchangeable in that respect. One thing I'd like to compare is the angle of dangle of both stands, as that could also make a difference.

Maybe I need to shell out for a Blade stand on eBay and do a proper comparison...

Had the stand done on Friday and i must have got so used to the original/boobsywhasit that it really looked leant over, and the leg more forward. Griff assures it's right, just gotta get used to it i guess!!

Did you trim the length of the stand? I felt it was too upright initially and took about 15mm off. Never did receive the Bubseywoo stand, did get a refund though. Did you fit the Honda switch as well, if so does it kill the engine properly when the stand is flicked up?

Just incase someone searches in the future, I have also fitted a Hayabusa stand to the Falco to good effect.
About 2 inches longer than standard so stand holds further out.
Use existing bracket & switch.
Bolt needs fitting in the oposite direction & blob of weld on the top, but overall quite easy & a good mod.

Pic doesn't work - do you know which age of Busa fits?

You can't link to things on your hard drive dude, you need to host it on line somewhere
