I've found several very favorable reports on the Farley Sidestand. Is there a web site where I can check them out? I have a '89 R100RS monolever and I'd like to find out if the Farley SS will fit.

I have always had a strong dislike and deep mistrust of my sidestand ('85 R80) and was lucky enough to find a Surefoot in the mailbox. After tossing the 6mm bolt that came with it and using an 8mm one, it bolted on fine.
It is untried so far, but looks fine and I can get to it without fiddling around under the cylinder with my left foot or stepping off to deploy the thing. Both the original and the new one hold the bike at the same angle. It sure looks funny with both of them down. Looks like the original will be coming off soon.
