Default Front stand assembly (3001-40)

The closest I came to finding anything close was this outfit out of Canada:

I also saw one on FleaBay from Poland:

Nether seem to be the correct part, and I’m also not willing to drop $400 on this coming from across the globe, either.

Is this a part that is pretty much made of unobtanium?

I’ve checked the places stateside I am familiar with, and came up empty.

I’m not doing a resto, but I do like to be able to change a flat tire/tube on the road, which is why it would be nice to have the front stand (I already have a rear stand).

I suppose there are ways to do this without the stand, but that’s why the damn thing was put on these. I get that it was an option, but it’s one I’d like to get if I could.

TIA.

I can't say I have ever seen one in the wild. I thought they were only on the Canadian WLC's? Not sure about that but it was my recollection.

Old eBay listing, I guess they are out there:

Thanks, and though the parts manual lists a part number for a civilian US stand, I believe it’s reare as hen’s teeth, thus I will probably abandon my search. In all fairness, it’s not going to make the bike look cleaner.
