yep
vtr stand will fit straight in BUT you do have to drill a hole for the sidestand switch - and adjust the kick down lever with a hammer
welcome back - your arse should be in the bar getting the ales in :)

Made the mistake of trying an SV1000 for a while and didnt like it, no soul, no character..
now back to an olympic bronze falco (appropriate!)

Just fitted a 04 Fireblade stand and was a simple job and far better.
Might need to shorten the leg slightly though.

There's a thread on here somewhere of a Honda dealer offering a good price for the stand. But I don't think it's much less than what you've been quoted. (can't remember what I paid)

It was coxhonda in Lancaster - but I phoned them for this, the person in spares I spoke to knew nothing of it and never called back as promised.
