I've got a spare Gixer one but it needs the modifications doing to it.

PM me an offer if you want it.

Cheers.

Thanks D-rider but looks like i have a 2005 fireblade stand coming already as it may just plug straight in ......???

Thanks for the offer though .....

No problem - it's an easier swap by all accounts.

Hi

After alot of research I went for the Bubseywoo one off ebay last year.

Was a bit worried after reports of their welds splitting but I bought one, and it was pretty easy to put on.

Touch wood, one year later and it hasn't let me down. The paranioa of leaving it parked near other bikes never leaves me!

but this stand has really had the ultimate test. A Steam Packet worker (built like a shot putter) tied me bike (fully laden with massive tank bank) down with rope on a crossing last year...and it never flinched!! :)

Fireblade one worked for me. Needed shoulders rounding with a grinder but otherwise easy peasy (mine sits a bit high, though it's not fallen over yet - apparently that is a crap-stock-shock issue)

Thanks Guys,

Where do I find Buseywoo, I've searched ebay with no joy.
