Fireblade 04-07 stand.
Aprilia Performance sell them, when they can get them. Best stand though is the US spec one from Aprilia |

It's specific years but cannot remember which as I got a US stand so didn't focus on the exact specs. If you can find one the US stand is the way to go.

Blackbird stand is very straight forward (more so than a GSXR unit) direct fit although you may need to redrill a hole for the switch peg to get it so the switch rotates far enough to operate.
As far as folded position goes it fits really well, and is much better than the nightmare that is the OEM stand.

Now that's an interesting angle that I'd never considered
If your bike falls over and you claim and some eagle eyed assessor notices you have a non declared,non OE stand I bet they'd refuse to pay out |

Find yourself a stand off one of the US bikes would be my recommendation. It's by far the best solution as it's made for the job. Also, being OE it probably eliminates any insurance issues as well.
