Hi!
Draganfly list several, dunno what year your bike is, I got a good used centre stand for the A7SS from them, at a very reasonable price. That was some years ago though.

Why is there a difference between single and twin stands? (swinging arm)

Wilko, the stands fitted to the singles are entirely different as are the frame mounting lugs thefore they are not interchangeable. The single stand was however fitted to the very early S/A A10's. there were several variations of the A10 stand. The RGS stand for example had no foot extension fitted. The top picture is the single and early A10 stand the picture below shows the later A10 stand.

As far as I am aware the the side stands are all the same.

MG, I bought my center stand from Burton Bike Bits and I was very happy with it.

Wilko,
            The difference in single vs twin stands is the provision of the foot lever on the twin.
This was thought not necessary on singles as there is no exhaust pipe in the way.
They didn't think about the lever grinding the road in fast left handers, though!

oh yes, I built mine up by welding when I rebuilt the bikes, now they are both ground flat again.  ;D

If you are riding at night you can push the stand down with your heel and send a nice spray of sparks out the back, looks really impressive.

Or so I am told, I wouldnt do anything like that...............................................

I bought a centre stand for my A10SR from Draganfly and it fell apart almost immediately and they gave me a refund. The cross member did not tightly fit hole in the legs.

I also bought a welded repaired one off Ebay and it snapped first time, monkey metal.

The Burton Bike Bits one I subsequently bought has been fine.

HTH.
