Thanks, another good lead. Still want the MG stand, if and when MG offers one, and I have maybe three months for that to happen.
i think you'll find that the Stucchi stand IS the OEM stand.
Am I going to need to purchase grab rails, too?
Is this a known fact?My 2016 V7II Stone does not come with passenger grab rails. What will I be pulling up on as I'm rocking the center stand down, the plastic fender? Am I going to need to purchase grab rails, too?Steve.
I always remove the suicidal side stand off my Tonti framed bikes. Just to remove any chance of using it and regretting it later.
....As the owner of a V7II, I think that I am entitled to know ....
... torque specs that have been incorrect and incomplete for at least 6 years...
Interesting, which ones?
Good luck, you're likely to be disappointed.
I bought it for US$185 delivered. Maybe the exchange rates were good.It is not on the bike. I have some work ahead of me to make it work. Installation is painfully simple and it is well designed. However, the lever used to deploy the stand hits the bottom of the muffler when the stand is in the stowed position. Since it rests on some rubber buttons, it should be easy enough to put washers under the buttons to fix the problem. The other problem is shared with the H&B stand. The bike doesn't go over center on the stand far enough to make it stable. If you bump it, the bike will come off the stand. The fix for this is pretty simple as well. All I have to do is grind down a couple metal tabs an eighth inch or so and it will be fine.This is a picture of the stand next to the frame member that is removed for installation. There is one long bolt that goes through the center.The center stand weighs 7.6 lbs.I'll get it modified and installed in the next couple of weeks. BTW, it's much easier to install if you remove the left muffler.
You don't pay VAT if it's being shipped to the States.
I know. Stucchi doesn't say on its web site whether its prices are VAT excluded or included, and if one takes an order to checkout, no distinction is made.What this means is that it's necessary to telephone them in Italy to find out and, if their online pricing is VAT inclusive, to make the order over the phone.So let's figure that their price of Euro 195 is VAT inclusive with VAT at about 21%. One winds up at about Euro 154 (makes sense in terms of an earlier post) plus about Euro 35 for postage, for a part made in Mandello del Lario that has to be modified to work.This is a joke, right?
Try and take it to "checkout" where they ask for shipping destination. When you plug in a US address, it may reduce any built in VAT.
I did. It doesn't change the price. Which means that if the price is VAT included (which I suspect it is, despite the fact that legitimate European vendors are clear about this on-line), non-Europeans who just pay Stucchi's on-line price, without understanding this, are getting screwed to the tune of about 21%.If Stucchi adjusts it after your credit card is debited (which is a costly way for them to handle this), there is no statement that that is what Stucchi will do.
I bought a rear rack from them a couple years ago. Seem to recall they were responsive to an email question I had.
Did you guys miss this? US$185 delivered to Long Beach, CA. No VAT. I just used the online checkout process and VAT was removed.
You know what, just buy a Condor front wheel chock that will stand it upright. I'm out.
