I picked an S*R kickstand to replace my bent stock one. Of course, the kickstand then touched the exhaust header in its retracted position. So I fabricated a stop to keep the stand from going up that last 1/4" inch and reasting on the pipe. I used a block on nylon, drilled and tapped the back side of the kick stand mount and attached with a small screw. Thought I would share for anyone wishing to use an S*R stand on an older Monster.
