I bought the stand as suggested to allow the fitment of the centre stand kit that I have. The ST type stand fits to the engine fine and will hopefully provide the clearance for the other stand as mentioned.
Whilst looking through all my spares I actually managed to find a plastic bush that fits into the original stand and must act as a bearing removing the slop that I'd encountered.
I'm sure when I'm done I'll end up with a load of spares that I can add to my stash or sell on via here oe ebay etc
