Mine arrived from Metropolis yesterday (took 5 weeks!). No idea why it was missing from my bike (Touring model). Just back from having it cut down and welded to stop my heel pressing down on it when riding. When i get my bike back from Riders later (having rear brake mod) I'll fit it and hopefully that will overcome the issue.
You got your bike new and it arrived without the stand?? For reference: Motorcycle Info Pages - MTS1200 DIY Mods > MTS1200 Centre Stand Fix
Sounds like it was probably raided for another bike. The cut down mod works perfectly. I had a mate do mine and now I dont even notice its there,
