Yes, Honda sell them as optional extras.

Might be worth a look on ebay: I suspect Honda want a few quid for one!

Re: main stand
Might be cheaper just to get a paddock stand for stuff you need the rear wheel off the ground for.

Abba bike stands are amazing better than paddock stands. Think stand is 70 pounds and fitting kit about 25. I bought a second had one and bought fitting kit for my fireblade havent bought cb one yet

The Abba stands are great for working on the bike but they are a bit cumbersome - I use my paddock stand as much as possible especially when cleaning.

Re: main stand
The standard cups should work as you have a square swingarm. Bobbins are a bit more secure & offer crash protection if you can fit them.@biglee wrote:called a honda dealer today 112 quid for a centre stand none on e bay or gumtree going to get a pair of pddock stands do i need bobbins?
It all depends which paddock stand you get & what fittings it has really. Plenty 2nd hand to be had on the bay cheaply especially if you're willing to collect.
