Title: Kickstand Foot Mod Post by: Speeddog on June 11, 2009, 03:24:07 PM Customer's kickstand foot was a bit worse for wear, and the lean was a bit much.
Lengthened it 1/4" plus the new foot, probably 3/8" longer now considering what I cut off. Got the angle a bit better too. OEM on the left (my bike), modded customer stand on the right.

that would be cool. Title: Re: Kickstand Foot Mod Post by: DucHead on June 11, 2009, 05:32:20 PM Nice job Nick.

Ya know, Raleigh is a really nice place to live...close to the beach and mountains, less traffic, clean air... ;D What could be better than the San Fernando Valley [laugh] Summertime temps of 11ty billion degrees Sorry Nick. ;D Youy should sell those stands.

Just not in the cards right now. That stand fits *that* bike with *those* pipes. Bikes that are higher/lower would require different ones. I'm going to try to measure stuff and see how they look. I've heard about that snow stuff. Gone and been in it voluntarily whenever I wanted to. 8) Seriously, I've seen parts of the East Coast, and there's some wonderful areas. [beer] |
