I know there is a dual sport version that looks like it might work, but there is no mention of compatibility on the Bontrager website.

Has anyone had luck at their LBS with a specific Trek FX rear kickstand?
I just got that stand for my DS, so much more stable and sturdy than my old generic centre stand ... no more tipping over! Got it at my LBS for the same price as on the Trek site.
Just measured, and my holes are exactly 3/4" apart on the chain stay (on a tab protruding out slightly). Looks like this:
I think this is some kind of standard, since I saw something similar on Giant bikes (but can't be sure it is exactly the same spacing). If the FX looks similar with the same spacing, I should think it would work!
