Many thanks! I almost bought the stand in Italy but spotted a warning about import taxes on their advert so will have a look around closer to home first.

When I googled the part number it comes up as a conversion part - is this because its needed to fit the centre stand kit do you think?

No, it's standard fitment to Monsters and probably SS after 1999 and usually incorporates a rotary switch which works an ignition interlock to stop you riding off with the stand down.

I think the stand was redesigned for the ST2/4 when they were introduced, as the centre stand was standard on those. I imagine Ducati simply standardised the new design across the range for simplicity. It also fits in with the ie models coming along and so modernising with an interlock switch.

The stand bracket seems to have carried through everything right up to the M1200, but used with different legs.

I'm quite alarmed at the prices of them. Try messaging Richardduke as he definitely had one on offer, although I've got a feeling it was snapped up.
