Tell me about it. I was winning it all week at £55. When I was outbid I threw another at it but eventually stopped and now I'm glad I didn't pay silly money for it.

tbh
of all the variants I have fitted, and looking at the cost of assorted parts - a tad under 70 quid is probably a good buy
they fit with a minimal amount of work, and work very well

If we all think the standard stand is pants and this US of A one is better and Flatlander has one, could we ask a friendly engineering shop to run off some using Flatlanders as a pattern?
These could be purchased for £40 to £50 making a good profit for the manufacturer and making us all sleep safer in our beds at night.
Just a case of taking some pre-orders on numbers and finding a shop and pricing up the materials/labour to see if theres owt in in £-wise.
We could then have a sidestand fitting party. Oh the fun!
Waddaya reckon??

not that easy to make - some of us remember a chap making them to order back in the day - bubseywoo was his name - his first and second versions were excellent - the later ones were shit.....
