Falco Side Stand

#1 Post by Mellor Mon » Thu Apr 01, 2010 12:14 pm

Has anyone got a Side Stand that will plug striaght into the Falco to replace the original, that they would be prepared to sell?
I have tried Bubseywoo-no stock, also tried numerous breakers for one off a 2005-2007 Blade (believe this is the one that plugs striaght in).
I could wait until Bubseywoo has stock, but being the kind of animal us bikers are, I'd like to get sorted sooner rather than later.
Cheers.

try getting a vtr stand - simple to fit

try and get it with the switch if you can


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Has to be the VTR Firestorm stand, NOT the SP1/SP2.

Thanks for the info lads.
Do I presume the switch has to be changed if the VTR stand is used?

No - it can be fixed. The Honda switch will pulg into the aprilia loom - but light only - not engine kill. The arilia switch would need the vtr leg drilling to allow it to be used.

Alternatively a paperclip can be used to bypass the switch mechanism....
