side stand

Okay i quote both of these because i beleive they can both be addressed at the same time as well as easily... i beleive run away is getting at the point that worrying about the longevity of welds is something one must always worry about and think about....esp. since if his bike falls over due to a poor weld hes out some new fairings a stator cover... etc...
now flip side
In my various welding classes ive learned almost all of the time (as long as you get someone who knows what they are doing) a welded section is usually stronger than the base welded material
Now i do beleive this stand can easily be welded... as long as you do it at the bottom and correctly (ill state what i feel is correctly below)... taking a section out of the middle is a horrible idea....
BUT
I agree with both sides.... In a sense that his whole bike staying up does depend on that stand so dont get chincy with it...
Take is somewhere thats going to throw a good SOLID WELD ALL THE WAY AROUND not just a tach. or a crappy stick job.... and make sure you cut the flat bottom part off and cut back from there... because thats the only place it can be 100% safely done do to there being about 0 pressure on the weld itself...
