Honda informed me that their garage stand and cover for the hardtop costs 800 USD (!!!) here. I have found another product from a German company (see http://www.auco.de, select the 'softtop - outside' section). This stand looks flimsier but is on the other hand collapsible and under 200 USD. Just thought i'd pass it on.

Definitely seems like a viable replacement...800 bucks for a stand is way too much.

Ahhh to live in California! Top has been
down for the past few days, sunny skies 60+
degree temps! By the time you add the price of a hardtop, I will be putting in 100 more HP in the form of a supercharger! Oh happy days! Bye from the sunshine state!

I have this same stand. I got it with
my Wiessmann hardtop for my Alfa Spider.
Luckily I won't have to deliver it when
I'm going to pick up my new S2K. It's very
handy for storing the hardtop. I was already
wondering whether the Honda hardtop would
fit, but now I feel lucky. Strange that it's
not delivered with a hardtop.

Yes, the stand looks flimsy, but it's pretty
sturdy and easy to move around in the
garage.

I like the idea of being able to bring the stand with me for the long-distance drive (Sweden is a long country ), and then removing the hardtop at the destination for some slower top-down cruising...
