Doubt that the Falco would have the requisite lugs.
If there isn't a Futura nearer you, you're welcome to come & see mine, to look at the fittings
Didn't someone else ask about this a few months back?
Edit. Can't find it on here; must have been somewhere else
BTW, how's things, Keith?

Centrestands need to be designed in to the bike from the ground up (pardon the pun). As Mart says, there aren't any lugs for the fixing bolts, and two sections of exhaust pipework under the motor would be a nightmare to try and plan a centre stand around.
That'll be a 'no', then...

... and even if you did fit it in there, if it wasn't at the right balance point it could be a nightmare to use

Not bad mate, was out for an aimless blast Sunday morning for a couple of hours, ended up coming back through Cleobury, stopped at the Cafe, bloody nice buns the girls had (no the cinnamon type!!!!) and a coffee for a warm-up before the last leg home.

Yes, if ever I find one in as good nick for the right money, may well have to squeeze another into the 'shed'
