    glad you're sorted Bob.
    So, did you get a full refund?

    Hi guys ... Got a pin made today ... Printed off Steve's tech drawing and had it made from that thanks Steve .... Stand now working perfectly .. Also had a reply from bs motos telling me they were sending me out a new top pin and socket and new bottom pin .... I'm hoping the new top socket is black .... Looks as if everyone's complaining has eventually paid off . Just wish they'd taken it on board before I bought one lol ...
    If anyone reading this needs a new pin just let me know ... I got 2 made today and 1 on its way from Germany ..
    Thanks again to everyone for their help ... Martin

    Bloody faf this is ! So is the upshot of all these replies and letters from the UK and Germany, that if someone ordered a new lift today, they would get the correct pins in the correct colour ?

    Thanks for that, the Bursig one looks nice (very similar to the other two actually), and it appears to have pins for my 954, sounds good. I would have considered the Envy lift but there appears to be just too much negative feedback for a product that is so new. Shame really as York is not too far from me.

    lol not realy to bothered about getting anything from them as mines ok now , hope ur ok with the pin you had made , Just wanted a black socket for the frame really , if they send a gold one I will try get it plastic coated black and may be masking tape it up , and use an oversize socket to torque it up on the engine mounting bolt

    Just had this delivered , looks like all the advice has been taken on board at B S Motos who are selling the constands who are now suppling the adapter plate for blade with all the correct dimensions , although in silver now , will take the socket to the powder coaters today for the outside of the socket doing in satin black ;)

    Got the socket for the stand back from the powder coaters , fitted and looking good , all working perfect now , was worth the bit of hassle along the way , any one ordering one of these now should have no problems at all as they have redesigned the mounting plate socket and pins to fit the Blade perfect :)
    I have painted the inside of the socket , did not want powder coat in there in case it became too tight on the pin

    Well at least it is done now, and thanks for taking the time and effort because when any of us order one in the future at least we will get one that fits and looks perfect. I am a little disapointed that the Envy one could not be as well made or reliable..... buy English.... not likely.
