side stand - bargain

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...

Good find that man ! Mere pennies for being able to leave your bike on the side stand and not have to worry ( or carry a smally bit of plywood around )
Im sure my stand is orig. but has been well modded whilst battling DVLA.
The footplate is now the same size as my Staffies head, the kick down bar
now fits round the zorst ( had been sawn off after an off, not by me !)
I broke the stand / kill switch, broke a few L/H mirrors, over £100 !
My mate spent 8ish hours modding the stand so all in all BARGAIN ! ! !
Cleverly disguised as an adult !

Xheck the other thread referring to these stands and pay 38 :smt002
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

It did a good job and fitted well with only a little fabrication :smt001

I like the seasonal effect created with the budget fake snow ground cover.

Top marks Thumper for improvisation with paper :smt004
