I would suggest the seller don't hold his breath waiting for a sale. The center stand ain't nothing special compared to the usual GF one and the side stand looks to be a clamp on one...? I thought the plunger frames had the lugs added from 1953. Same year the SF's were released.

Too expensive, but I'd have made him an offer a couple of years back when the worn-out centre stand on the '51 needed a lot of attention due to wear and damage and the side stand was missing.
Incidentally my 1951 Star Twin never had the sidestand lug fitted and I believe they weren't fitted until a couple of years later, so this stand could be entirely correct for the earlier bikes.
