due to the raised height of the back end, after fitting a wp rear shock, I am in the process of fitting the original sidestand

BUT - I am going to use the VTR switch as it is a lot better than the standard falco one - a metal pin as opposed to a plastic bump....

IF that does not work out as I want then I guess I will start to look at fitting an allen bolt But i thght i would try the original first


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...

actually, is fine.....

I am, by nature, a fat bastard, so the shock is fairly meaty, and the rear end is quite a bit higher now :)

am quite pleased - only thing I did was to drill a hole for the VTR switch as it is far better than the aprilia one....
