Hi Renato,
I'm Paolo from Bergamo (Italy). I installed last year the original central
stand and I can tell you that it is very very good. I also was interested
in not installing the original one but, when I went to see the others models,
I understood why of the difference in price. The others models are very very
simple and they don't seem to be strong. I think that for a bike like @
is very important to be sure that it works very well. I don't think that you
would like to come back one day and find your @ down on the street !!!!

I also would like to inform all Italian @ bikers that in italian newspapers
shops there is the number of "Mototurismo" of December/January where you
can find the reportage of my coast to coast from New York to Vancouver
made last summer with my wife and "OUR @". Probably you can find also
something about it at:

www.mototurismo.it

I suggest all @ bikers to try this great experience, probably the biggest
of my life !!!

Best regards
