Anybody with one that they would want to part with??

thanks

you will just bend another one if you are using hard luggage . the position of the side stand leaves itself holding a lot of weight with sidebags that are full ........take your stand and heat it (mapp gas works with a regular blow torch head ) ,bend it back out straight , well not really straight but back to stock bend , or whereever you want the old girl to be when on the stand .
Now take the stand and either weld some gussets on each side of it or take it to a shop that can weld  them on for you . and the problem will be solved forever .
The gussets don't have to be anything more than a couple of pcs. of 1/4 inch steel rod welded down each side of the kickstand .

So you think I will bend another, you are so right.  :D  Tried the heat but only from a propane torch and it was not enough.  OK, I need to break out the big guns, bend it and beef it up.

thanks,  Mustang you are the king
