Here we go!!
On the CBR owners club they stated that the 600 and 1000 are the same stands I cant say more than that.
Sometimes I wonder if its not better to just say nothing.

No !!
I hope its gonna work M8 as I did say CBR 600/1000rr,I want it to work for ya :thumbup
It looks as if it has a kink in it though although it should slot in anyway.
I used the OEM switch and bolt that goes through the sidestand.
I used the srping that came with the CBrs stand, and got it on the hooks by using a Tiewrap around the spring leg and pulling on the wrap until it hooks over ( youll see what i mean)
Anyway im not scared of Omar simpson :nana
We'll see what happens when it arrives - if it does fit then we can start compiling a database of stands that work.
BTW, you may be edging towards legend status in the world of bike mechanics but you're still crap at computers - fix that bleedin' signature link will ya:nana

Did you need to drill a hole in the stand to accept the locating pin for the switch, or does the honda switch fit excactly the same as the aprillia one so already has the hole in the right place.
Thanks

Not to sure of that M8, it took me 20 minutes to get the fairing back on the other day as I forgot to put the manifold plastic back on :jack
As far as I can see the honda unit is eactly the same as the ape fittings the only thing that is different is that the fixing plate is 40mm between bolts and the Apes 50mm the switch is exactly the same apart from it having 2 wires not 3, the hole in the sidestand fits perfectly for the switch i didnt have to do anything.
:doug
ps I cant get this fecking signature link to work :eatcorn ill put another signature on.

Thanks for the fast reply, got my fingers crossed that the stand turns up quickly and that it is not to short and makes the bike lean over too far.

Just ordered my second CBR1000RR stand as the f****rs i ordered the first one from have supposedly misplaced it after first emailing me to tell me it was on its way.:dunno.
Anyhow the new one is complete with switch as well. Sprocker to let you know the new one was £35 plus the postage. if it doesn't fit a 57 plate i will let you know and you still get first dibs. First time i have ever been burned on e-bay. I didn't realise just how complicated these RSV's where going to be. Mind you i should think myself lucky that i still have it after having the garage ram raided 3 weeks ago.

OK, Tim's off the hook and my 01 Mille is now sitting securely on an 2006 CBR600RR sidestand.
I bought the stand of fleabay for £27 quid delivered and it came with spring, switch, bracket and all.
Like Tim says it's a straight fit. I used the Mille nut and bolt and the CBR spring.
When I first fitted it there was quite a lot of play in the stand as the Mille bracket is a little bigger than the CBR stand and doesn't fit as snugly as the original. I refitted with one of the CBR spacers which is really thin but still had to be tapped in with a hammer. I then thought the bike wasn't leaning as much as with my Bubseywoo stand and didn't look so secure so i removed the spacer and left it with some play - my BW stand has been like this for a long while as the head fork has spread under the weight. With the CBR one being a solid fork, it should be fine.
This gives it a little more lean and you can also pull the stand out a little more with your foot if you're on uneven ground and need a bit more angle.
Using the old bolt, the Mille sidestand switch bolts straight back on and after the usual couple of minutes of fiddling to get it aligned, the switch works fine.
The stand now tucks in tighter than before - no bad thing as I occasionally grounded the BW one on track. On the down side the kick tang is closer to the bellypan making it a little bit more tricky to put the stand down - nothing serious though and I'm sure I'll get used to it but I'll probably rub the plastic a bit putting it down.
Result: it's fine and I'm well pleased.
The stand was advertised as off a '0 miles bike' and it obviously is - factory light grease layer and no road grime at all, so it looks great.
I inspected my BW stand and the head has spread, cracking the coating/paint a bit - doesn't look like it's in imminent danger of falling apart though and it's been on a year. It's for sale if anyone's interested:devious
So big up to Areesmille for this one - top work Tim:thumbup:hail:hail:hail
My 600 stand looks a bit different from the 1000 one he's fitted but still works fine.
Just compared the pics of Tim's and mine and the 1000 looks to reach further out but his bike looks a bit more upright than mine. Should both be fine.

No Tim, he's staying in Baltimore. But a scrap between Omar and Chopper? - that's one ruck I'd like to see.:thumbup
