Hello Dave, fitted it tonight and it it fits fine. It should fit the X or R fine.

You can have both. You just have to remove the side stand to fit one of the centre stand mounting brackets behind it. In the absence of paddock stands this leaves you with nothing to hold the bike up.
I ended up using a handy low wall covered in cardboard to prevent scratches to the engine bars. Got the side stand remounted and then put it on the side stand to work on the other side.
SW Motech Centre Stand Fitting Tips
1. Borrow paddock stands if you can, or have a friend handy.
2. Hold the centre stand loosely in the upright position using cable ties to the swing arm.
3. Place the mounting brackets on the stand and then remove the footpeg brackets from the bike.
4. You should be able to easily slide the centre stand brackets under the bike brackets and remount using the longer bolts supplied.
5. You get two springs, don't even bother with the lighter one. The centre stand will sag nearly to the floor at the slightest touch.
6. Fitting the stiffer spring isn't too hard if you still have the stand held up by the cable ties. Hook the spring into the bracket and then take a long length of para cord. Double it up, place this around the other end of the spring. I knelt behind the bike and braced my knee against the rear tyre. Just leaning my body weight back was enough to stretch the spring and hook it around the connection on the stand.
Hope it helps
