Default Centre Stand for Curvy

Wondering if anyone has a stand that will fit a Curvy.

Seen one online but it's quite pricey http://www.bikermart.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=370-104

Cheaper to buy a 2nd hand Abba stand.

Also it won't fit, if you have non standard header pipes, I know I tried.

Thanks for the reply. I looked up the abba stand and I don't think it would suit for what I need it for.

I'm after a centre stand mainly to ensure I can lube the tyres while on tour; that was a challenge on my last tour.

Wemoto sell a kit, I suspect it's the same.
However, for your needs I'd suggest a scottoiler

Cheers Jambo, the WeMoto one is dearer. I'll look into the Scottoiler option again; though not sure why I dismissed it last year.
I'll do some more research.

How can I tell if I have standard header pipes?

Most SV's will have standard headers, as most owners cut the pipe to fit a end can. I've got Micron headers, which go into a high level exhaust, which is why the bend is different & I can't fit a centre stand.

Just have a look or post up pics of where they join underneath the engine. The OEM clamps rust like hell, so that'll be a big clue.
