    Hi People
    Thanks for your replies. Thought no one was out there??? They must have been tearing around in the sunshine?
    It's for an 07 TA. Both measurements are from the frame mount to the stand fixing mount when folded up and when folded down.
    No need to get them now. I have sorted it out.
    I have made a stand. Couldn't bring myself to pay out £100+ for a lump of steel with a few bends in it. I had an idea of what was required. Found a spring. Made some bushes, Works a treat. Just got to weld on the ground feet and the foot pad. I'll see how long it lasts.
    Thanks again...

    Nice one.
    It realy hurt to spend the dosh on an item that should have come with the bike in the first place. Glad you have got round it.
