Can you still get...

... the side stand brackets that kick out an extra bit? Think they were red and on e-bay a few years ago.

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

Yes

.... no idea if they are still available but I do remember the consensus was they only do half a job

Got one somewhere :smt017
Never fitted it, just a bent stainless plate with holes in.
Bought off fleabay, but decided to be sensible and buy a different stand.
Other reason was that it looked like it would not fit with the belly pan I had just bought at that time.
Then again I never tried so may have been OK.

I had one on with a Suzuki stand and the bike was so far over I had to really give it some effort to get it upright.

The bracked cracked at the bend in transportation from the UK to Oz.

IIRC Renegade might have offered one too, not that that helps much now.

I have one which has been straightened a bit (fillet cut out of the back, straightened and welded up). Structurally sound, been holding my bike up for the last few years. It's a bit less of a tilt than the perky one, but still a good bit more than the OE, so would be ideal on a bike with the OE shock still in place and a different stand.

Gone back to the original bracket to accommodate the longer Ohlins shock and Mille swing arm better, so it's now spare. Fiver if anyone wants it.
