Errr yeah. The threaded holes at the rear of the swingarm - just perfect for clipping the race stand onto if I could get some bolts that fit. The thread is 10mm, but the pitch???? Standard pitch for M10 seems to be 1.5mm, which is too coarse. I need what? 1.25 or 1.0mm? Anyone know?

It`ll `likely` be standard metric fine Dave M10 x 1.25.
You might find this useful(and anyone else for that matter):

M10 x 1.0 does exist but it`s pretty uncommon.
Here`s some listings for the less usual fine pitches anyway:

Yep, 1.25mm pitch it is thanks Mincehead. Grabbed a couple from the local bolt bloke and they're perfect.

Couple of nylon bosses or turned aluminium and your away then Dave.
Skateboard wheels can be turned down too,they also make cheap crash bungs.

I bought one but I haven't made my mind up yet. Couldn't get my hand to sit right, but maybe a different pair of gloves could work better. Haven't used it for a little while now.

That's all they do in the work shop if you haven't got bobbins on already.
