I bought the US falco stand from AF1 a couple of years ago, and I am very happy with it. http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scripts/ ... tegory=804
Looking at the diagrams for the bikes you mention, only the falco stand looks the part.
By the way I did not cut the mounting bracket, I cut away part of the mounting bolt surround on the frame, it gives much better bracing, I can dance on that left hand footpeg. Be aware that using this method you will need a longer engine mount bolt.

I just noticed that af1 had a second hand mille stand for 120 usd, with a discount - all told including shipping it came to under 100 ukp and it might have done a friend for his falco

personally I prefer my cheap firestorm solution but had to investigate on his behalf!

There is a used RSV stand in one of the parts for sale topics for about USD 50 if I remember correctly!! on the AF1 forum...

Both the Falco or the RSV/Tuono stand will work. In the case of the RSV stand you might have to cut of the 3rd eye (top one) of the bracket. That is what I did and it work just fine!!

Wish you boys could make up your mind. I've just bought a Mille stand from the parts for sale on AF1. Now I'm not sure its going to do the job.

I hope I'm wrong, but

Falco

Mille
http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scripts/ ... tegory=900

Tuono
http://www.af1racing.com/store/Scripts/ ... tegory=432

Then again, with a big hammer, a hacksaw and some duct tape you can make anything work

Perversely that has actually given me more confidence.

The RSV bracket is the one I've seen others fit to Falco's. The Falco and Tuono brackets I've never seen before.

Anyway I'm going to cut away the 3rd mounting hole so I'm not anticipating any issues now.

Here's some pics of my RSV bracket with the 3rd mounting hole cut off.

I found the bike at the second try. Eventually saw the sidestand too.
