Title: Sidestands for 696 Post by: Holden on April 28, 2009, 12:00:17 PM Which ones work?
What are my options for replacement, if any (aside from another of the same)? Cheers. Title: Re: Sidestands for 696 Post by: Takster on April 28, 2009, 12:20:16 PM bookmark

Title: Re: Sidestands for 696 Post by: junior varsity on April 29, 2009, 05:53:14 AM None available yet. What's wrong with the stock?
Is the stock sidestand kickstand steel or aluminum? My 1999 sidestand is Alu, newer monsters got a much heavier steel part with a different mount, CycleCat made billet alu replacements that were slightly longer because the newer stands were shorter than my older stand. An eBayer currently markets a billet replacement for my original sidestand, but I can't see the point since mine is already aluminum, other than that one is scratch free. If you bent your shifter on an older stand, the retraction spring location made it hard to push the shifter down. The advantage of the newer stands was the relocation of the spring to the other side of the stand. Title: Re: Sidestands for 696 Post by: Takster on April 29, 2009, 05:57:34 AM problem? It costs a fortune from the dealer and mine is bent. [bang]

Title: Re: Sidestands for 696 Post by: Takster on April 29, 2009, 01:42:27 PM are you telling me that pregnant dog ain't paying? Oh hell no... she's paying. I just was trying to redistribute funds to more interesting things. Save money on a sidestand = more funds for bling ;D Title: Re: Sidestands for 696 Post by: Raux on April 29, 2009, 08:43:54 PM Oh hell no... she's paying.
