Hi all thats interested, I have today (08/06/12) fitted a center stand to my ABS model FZ1 bought from everyone's favorite site 'EBAY' for a princely sum of £40.00.
I came off a none ABS model. I have to fit the 'off-side' bracket to the bottom of the bike frame which involved removing the small ABS wire retaining bracket which was bolted into the holes needed for the bracket. Once Stand & bracket was fitted I simply cable tied the wires to the new bracket fitted. Hardest part of the job was attaching the spring. Will have to look at fabricating a new stop for the center stand when not in use as it now rests on the suspension linkage as the rubber stop is now in mid air as I have the Akra Chimney instead of the standard. Oh I also had to source a couple of M10 x 1.0 pitch bolts 30mm long for the offside bracket. You can also get these off of 'EBAY' pair of stainless ones will be about £3.00
Hope this helps anyone...??
