Have you got a paddock stand you could use in the meantime Michael?
I have indeed Martin... just one small problem. I’ve no bobbins yet in the swing arm. Sent off for some this morning so hopefully land in a couple of days 🤞👍

I'm sure Michael will be able to fabricate one from copper piping that will be as strong as the original side stand 😂

Thanks Pete, so far. Mainly because of work and the weather I’ve only ridden it back from the dealership (12.5miles) however that was enough for me to know that I’d made the right decision in swapping it. Really looking forward to spring/summer hopefully get out and put some decent miles on it.
Cheers, Michael
