Default NEED HELP locating a Pin

I recieved a front stand for my 600RR for Christmas from my girlfriend. As luck would have it, the 600RR requires a 20mm pin (the largest supplied with the stand was a 18mm). The dealership where the stand was purchsed cannot get this oversized pin until late March or early April. I have located these pins in Europe, but the shipping cost would be extra crazy expensive for such a small $5 part.

Does anyone know where I can purchase this pin in Canada or the US? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone could get one locally at their favorite bike shop, I would gladly compensate you via Paypal for all charges and a few cold ones.

The stand is similar to the one located below, pin is the same style.

whats the brand of the stand?

Im sure the different brands use a different size main pin. They then cut the end of the pin down to size.

Its a stand that was manufactured for and sold by "Parts Canada" - identical to the Biketek stand I posted a pic of. I am aware that different stands use different pins, but if I could at least find a manufacturer selling pins I can request some information to confirm wheather or not the pin diameters are compatable.

Top diameter needs to be 20 mm for the bike, bottom diameter 19 mm to mount in the stand.

Hey Fortech, I have the same stand as you (BikeTek). Looked to see if I had a size 20, but the biggest I have is 18. Fly n Cycle has the pin you’re looking for.
