Just heard from him on eBay:

There has been some feedback from customers reference the last batch of sidestands that were sent out in January which I have recalled. The workshop didn't configure their CNC machine properly & the stands were sub standard i.e. didn't fit properly.

Therefore the stands will be delayedby a couple of weeks to ensure they are fit for purpose. My humble apologies but the stands have to be right. Knd

Regards.

Gary

.... so his quality control (ie even basic checking before sending out) was non-existent then?

mmmm interesting, mine fits to the bike ok and ive had my mouning plate bent in order to improve the angle but the base of the stand is not flush with the ground.

Its fine and the bike holds ok, was thinking of adding a bubber bung to the base to improve things...

The one I ordered in Feb arrived yesterday...
Seems solid, finish was passable and would have fit straight on if it wasn't for the big gob of weld on my stand stop stopping it folding down enough. I'm assuming big gobs of weld on stand brackets and banana shaped stands aren't standard fittings.

I've noticed mine has started to splay at the top where the bolt passes through, looks like I will be in need of one soon!

Bubseywoo stand is fine. Everything lined up and was tapped properly. More solid and tucks away better. Lean angle about the same as badly modded stand.
Dubious mods were by previous owner to kit the bike came with. Original stand was bent forward and outwards. Stand stop on bracket was welded to stop the now too bent stand folding too far forwards. I've ground it back to the original profile. Might take it back a bit further yet.

Got A Firestorm stand on mine and it works a treat.

To clarify

The early bubseywoo stands are fine - one of the bikes I look after has one fitted

BUT

From summer? 2010 the quality has gone - lots of reported problems from many reliable sources

The ones from September last year are, it would seem, a crock of shit

That'll be mine included then, typical.

Some have, it seems, been ok - I have been very general in my comments - but all the uk based forums I frequent have had and reported issues

The fork at the top of the Buzbypoo stand on the spare Falco had open out giving lots of play, but that was due to a lack of fettling from a previous owner, some welds needed grinding back for it to retract fully, but whoever had fitted the stand had just left the pivot bolt loose instead!

....got the fireblade stand. Needed a little grinding, but otherwise a straight swap.

I had one of the very early ones and I have always been very happy with it.
