Could someone post a picture of their kick stand please? I think mine is shorter than what it should be, or is missing a foot type thing at the bottom. My bike definitely leans more than others I have seen. I can post a picture of mine after I get home from work for comparison. The service manual shows a foot thing at the end of the stand, but I don't know if that is a generic illustration or not. Thanks in advance.

 

The picture is attached.

 

ya the foot on the end was cut off or somthing ..

 

Doesnt look very secure that way

 

It stands up okay on it, but I figured there was something up with it after looking at every other bike's stand. Can these be purchased new still? I am supposed to take it to the dealer on Thursday, I suppose I can find out then unless someone is parting out a bike with the same stand that I could buy.

 

I am pretty sure it was cut down since the front of the bike has been lowered. It will stay that way for right now. I wouldn't want to put a new one on if the bike wont be stable on a full length stand.

 

you might have problems depending on how much it was lowered, i assume thats why it was cut in the first place. i would be careful not to put that on any tar that has been cooking in the sun.

 

I would go to your local metal place and grap a cheap peice of 1/16" or 1/8" plate. They'll be able to cut you a 1.5x1.5" pad or even a circle, and a muffler shop will weld it on for $5. Paint it and your good to go.

 

i can pull one off ,y parts bike and mail it to you for 20 + shipping, lmk.

 

Yep, i would also weld a foot on it at least. But being lowered, a stock sidestand likely won't be any more of a help than the one you have.
