A lot of money for a bit of bent wire with some heat-shrink on it!

Is there a designated 'stash' place for said prop ? Like a bonnet stay on your car ?
I use random bits of kindling, wood wont damage paint work, easy to make fit and the dog eats it when Im done,giving his teeth a clean at the same time, not sure it helps with the bin breath though

Yes - it goes under the rear seat. The bikes that came with them (before it became optional) had clips to secure it.

nice one blinkster
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

I gave in and bought one.
Usually when you know you need a tank prop, you have the effing thing propped on your head cos you dont want to stop working cos the 'it will only take a few seconds' is never true.
Good find Blinkey :smt004
