I know there has been a few posts about this topic but seems abit confusing. Just wondering what stands people have used, how easy it was to fit and also cost.

04-07 fireblade stand is a straight fit and the firestorm stand needs a hole drilling for side stand switch we have both these stands on our bike and there both miles better than original stand but the best option i guess is the usa stand

Can I just ask what are the reasons people are changing their stands?
My stand seams too short and located too close to the centreline of the bike. So the bike always seams on the verge of toppling over.
I ask this because in some threads that I've read some have had to shorten stands.
Does the fireguard stand sort out one thats too long or too short?
Cheers Jeff

Always pissin down with rain Sussex
Some are too long & some are too short :dunno
My stand was too short so I extended it by cutting & welding a piece in, still not as upright as I would like but any longer & it wouldn't fit in the fairing recess.

Yeah mine was to long sort of, kept it to upright, although it's got more to do with the angle of the bracket that bolt's to the frame, the us spec one has a greater angle and longer arm that lets the bike lean over more making it more stable, I lernt this the hard way as when coming home on the wightlink car ferry one time with original stand, sea a bit rough, got a call over loud speaker to go to car deck, to find bike on it's side, not happy :angry. Since fitting us spec one, rougher sea's not a problem, sorted.:doug
