I was going to ask this question, will stands from other years fit?

Part no: 50530-MEL-000

I believe only Fireblade 2004-2007 will fit directly with minimal work.

If you search for the detail, people have got VTR stands to fit and the Gixxer 1000 stand as well, specific years only.

Thanks sleepy, another ebay search.. every year blade stand but 04/07, noVTR stans at all but

Adjustable side stand that I think Mr R Squid mentioned.
Now $139, might make sense if shipping isn't too much, and assuming you can trade with the natives in GBP

Its not a part we have in stock sir

I didn't think you'd have it in stock so can you order one ?

Can you order me one please?

No, its not a part we carry sir.

I think that a search here may well point to a chap who advertised a delivery service of them for 55 quid a while back

Failing that.... I will dust off my address book and find a decent mail order place for you

Having checked on t'Interweb, it seems that Honda dealers in the USA are advertising them for just over $40. Powersportsplus list them at $41.83, which equates to £25.80 in our English pounds.

Bulk buy, anyone?
