Title: Who makes a longer sidestand for the S2R 800? Post by: EEL on April 15, 2009, 12:05:04 AM I raised the ride height last weekend and the bike is leaning a bit more that I feel confortable with. Who makes longer sidestands? I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance. Title: Re: Who makes a longer sidestand for the S2R 800? Post by: ProTeal55 on April 15, 2009, 06:22:37 AM Worst case you could always weld on an ext. piece to the stock stand and paint/powdercoat ..

alternatively, you can just get a block of metal and drill a few holes in it and fasten it in place, or just weld it. Title: Re: Who makes a longer sidestand for the S2R 800?

Member JustMike supplied this link - a fun piece if you want to weld http://www.duccutters.com/DucCuttersLimited.tpl (http://www.duccutters.com/DucCuttersLimited.tpl) Title: Re: Who makes a longer sidestand for the S2R 800?

I've been wanting one for a long time and to get a longer stand too is great.
