.....

Return it - demand a refund

Order the fire blade part


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...

I had the same problem with the Bubsy stand, it started to splay at the top. Fitted a fireblade stand last month, and it with the help of a washer to fill the gap, it works perfectly, and the spring is alot smoother too :smt003

I'd say i'll sort you a GSX-R modded stand out, but it's taken me months to sort the ones I'm currently doing. If you don't mind waiting (for ages) then I'll get you one sorted after these are finished. :smt001
