I've pondered an ally sidestand for years.
I believe that ally stands were fitted to earlier 2-valvers (my bike is a 2000 model)
You would probably also need the matching ally bracket to fit it, but I can't say for certain.
Also, I believe the design is slightly different in that the spring is fitted in front of the stand rather than hiding behind it.
They may also be of the "suicide" type, which I don't really like, but again I'm not sure if they are all like that.
I did buy an ally stand from an S4R, which looked like it might do the job but didn't fit properly (on the original bracket) when I tried it.
In the end, I decided that since the sidestand is one of the lowest fitments on the bike, its heavy weight is not of massive consequence.
Therefore I've stuck with the steel one for now .. although my decision was coloured by the fact that I've already extended the original stand to cope with a raised rear end.
