well finally fitted the Yamaha genuine side stand foot !! then took it straight back off !!!!!! the fitting was a nightmare I had to really bend the top plate so it didn't strip the bolt thread holes in the aluminium base trying to tighten it on , one bolt was directly under the stand bar so couldn't get an allen key in it anyway , and it didn't look that great when on !! how can a firm that makes such a great bike make an accessory that is so wank ? any way , all's well that ends well - found a better use for it as a paperweight !! nice
