Side Stand issues.

Irishness · #1 Post by **Irishness** » Mon Oct 07, 2013 10:08 am

Hi hi people, so I am trying to source a side stand for my new toy! Now I know that the 2004- 2007 fireblade stands fit it but finding one of those is actually a bit of a bitch!

So what I was hoping was that seeming as everyone who has been giving me some advice on what I should do, say the first thing I need to change is the side stand. Now there is a few "stickys" on the Falco pages on different things but none on the sidestand. I know there is different posts about the issue but wouldn't it be a good idea to sitcky a post with all the info on which side stands work and which need work/which don't and all that jazz.

Also whoever makes the topic can edit the first post by adding all the info that others give?

Hope I am actually making sense......it's been a long weekend.

Finally.......... Anyone have a sidestand for me please? :p

I am like everyone else I guess. Having said that when I went out for lunch today there was a bit of a wind and I was not all that comfortable with leaving it :/

I'm told mine has one from a GSXR and I seem to remember hearing that a Blackbird one fits as well?

Yea I heard that too altho some need a bit of work. It would be cool of someone in the know made a proper post on each stand that was useable and what years etc etc

I have use a modded GSXR stand for years now.
Personally, I think it's the best of the various options

Ok taz

Obviously the 14th tribe of Judea got lost in Eire

The blade stand is only about 55 quid new from a stealer

Go for a 2005/6 model year iirc

(There are some plans in place for centralising these kind of resources, but apparently some one has got lost working in mordor and has not sorted the domain.....)

Excuse my nub'ness here, wtf is a stealer?
And can you link me where I can get one?

stealer = dealer

a bike shop with a big fuck off honda sign outside may well be a good place to start....

:)

It only takes the once. I have modified the standard stand to make it adjustable for length to accommodate the ride height adjustment of the Ohlins. So for seven years I thought I was reasonably sorted however one day I decided to park in a slightly different place on my gravel drive and whilst opening the garage doors I heard a crunch from behind me... I have RG crash bungs but they also just bury themselves in the gravel. Man that bike is a bastard to pick up and I marked the carbon fiber of my irreplaceable Aprillia racing cans in the process.

Thanks to Alad I now have gixer stand and it is so much more stable than my optimized standard stand could ever imagine.

but that is the wrong year - you need a 2005/6 iirc
