The problem to me is this: http://www.cafehusky.com/attachments/sany5089-jpg.67041/ When the stand goes too up, then the foot will touch the swingarm (I can see the scratches also in your first pic... ...I suposee now you have no problem because you have bended the stand) I don't want to bend the stand. At the beggining my "solution" works fine, but some months later due to the wearing of the iron piece, the stands again goes to high... may be I'm going to have to replace that piece from time to time
I'm afraid you didn't understand my question. I wanted to know... if you finally has had to bend the stand is because your "first solution" didn't work as good as you wanted . That's why I asked you what was wrong (what didn't work as you expected) Thank you
Now I understand you wanted to say. my main problem when I made the change with the stainless steel thickness was that the bike fell easily on the ground when I was posting it. later to improve the support I bent out the side stand. then: with the stainless steel thickness it is avoided that the stand sticks on the swingarm because it goes too high. with bending outwards the bike is' more stable when standing. I hope I have explained it well if it can be useful I can put other detail pictures
This is what I'm looking for. As my side stand is larger than the OEM one (it is from the TE450... but shortened some centimeters) the bike is OK when is on it. So I have to make only "half steel piece" like the one I did due I don't have issues when the bike is on the side stand. So I'm going to take a closer look to the piece I made in order to find a solution
An update: I've made a new piece, a bit bigger where it enters the side stand and... It will be Ok for me as long as it last at least one year.
hi, I have a superdual with the usual iffy stand. am looking for a steel stand.where did you get yours? brian
Sorry, not ignoring you! The stand came with the bike. The PO said it was already on when he bought it, so I am now awaiting an answer from the original owner and will advise when I know.
