the vtr is a simple swap - just swop the leg over, not the bracket, and then adjust the kick down bar with a hammer

it is a lot better than the standard one

the gixxer option also works well

another consideration would be the fireblade stand - straight fit i believe and 50 quid new. I believe that the model 2005 to 2007 is what you need - I cannot comment further as I have not done it


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...
