Dear Renato,
if I remember correctly your question was discussed in November 97.
The people from the list which has experience with the mainstand 
recommended the original one from Honda. The reason was that the weight
of the original one is lesser then the third party products and the 
quality is better. It is much more stable. Ask Adi he made
the ultimative test by jumping on the bike {;-) The disadvantage is
the price (:(

BTW for this reason I just ordered an original one.

Greetings,
