Thanks for that chaps. my ST3 does not have adjustable ride height (ST3S does) so maybe just me being a bit nervous about side stand. The DKS option does look excellent but a lot of money just to settle my nerves!

He's right you know, just checked mine and you can't adjust the ride height. I have to agree that the bike does tend to lean over fairish on the side stand which is why I tend to use the centre stand most of the time.

If you are really worried about it Bud I could cut out a piece of aluminium to follow the shape of the side stand foot that you could fit to the existing stand with a couple of screws. Let me know if interested, would probably do mine at the same time and it would work for anyone with an adjusted up ST2/4/4s

I have been worried about the lean on my ST4 for ages and so are some of my non Ducati owning friends, I could easily get something welded on the foot part but surely its going to look completely rubbish. I e mailed spareshack and they replied......

"The sidestands cost 91 pounds + vat but we can do free postage on them at
present. Delivery is usually 1-2 weeks but it depends on exactly which one
is required and in which colour."

I will be going out to the garage to experiment with different packers to determine which length is best. Has anyone else fitted one ?

Options are silver or black and

0.35", 0.57" or 1" longer than the standard length
