Hi everyone!

Concerning the discussion about the mainstand-types:

Last winter I bought a original honda mainstand. I had no serious trouble
with it and I also must agree that it seems to be very stable. 

But there WAS one problem: (I hope you understand what I mean)
The mainstand has to be mounted with 2 metal cylinders to the frame. One of
the 2 openings in the mainstand used for the cylinders WERE BENT in the original
state!!!! That means, the cylinder did not fit into it. I had to use "brute
force" to get the opening in the right shape. (By this I found out, that the
mainstand is very stable, indeed! :-)

What I want to say with this: original parts may be good, and even may be
the best choice, but do not expect Honda parts to be always perfect.

Have fun!

Uli
