Bummer !

You live on top of a mountain?

If the plastics are bad, maybe streetfighter it? And deffo get a Gixer/VTR/USA sidestand or mod the OE-un!
I cant begin to describe how the anxiety of parking up, (especially in the wind), has dissapeared since I fit the Gixer stand last year!
Best mod Ive ever done, (n how Prila got away with the OE sidestand in the first place; Whether on the Falco, Mille or Tuono, beggars belief!
Bad luck mate but keep her, (ya know ya wanna; Just wait til the good weather starts-up! ), and get a Gixer 6/7 stand!
Requires very little 'fettling' but you can keep the s/s cutout switch as an extra Brucie-Bonus!

I posted how I did it a while ago on the old Prila Site when I did the swap, but here is one picture that I think sums up the reason for swapping to the Gixer sidestand...

Spot the difference!

EDIT. Just re-read n noticed you need a brake lever; There are regularily a few cheap, (around £25), pairs o pattern levers on Ebay, (same as the RSVs and Tuonos at least around 99-2003 models), though the quality is only as good as you pay.
Ive a pair of tatty OE uns that Id like to hold on to 'just in case' but I swapped em out fer some wrong-colour-red cheapies off Ebay...
Maybe go fer the black or silver next time!

i v managed to find and buy a pair of new mirrors tonight , and i bought a left and a right clip on , just in case as i know there hard to find , all im looking for now is a break lever but that will be tomorow, and the stand,

there is nothing wrong with my falco , apart from the scrapes , what i ment was the cost of filler and a respray to get it looking good, , and i know there will be another oneout there somwhere at the right price .
i still have
screen and belly pan to fit i will see how it looks when i put it all together
iv had her 17 months and cant see me driving anything else at the moument ,one of the best fun bikes iv had ,and iv tried a few

btw falcomonky that stand looks alot better , and iv just bought the second one thanks , i will look for fitting thread later, cheers ,,,,just front lever to get now, i did see them in pairs but looking for one as the clutch lever is brand new from last fall ,

Amen to that n glad to be of service mate; The Gixer stands are a doddle to fit as well as being waaaay more suited to the job!
Bigun on ere, (as well as other peeps?), have also gone the Gixer route with the same results.

if i could sell mine iquickly i would put the money towards this one, its even the right red colour

im sure someone will be able to spend some tlc on mine purly cosmetic

Picture tells a thousand words & all that!
Well impressed by that Gixxer stand, which model Gixxer stand would I need ?
