#1022916 Jlb76 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1609 Kickstand extention 5 Months ago   Since I put duals on I have a hard time getting to my kickstand. Most of the time I have to bend down and get it with my hand. What are you guys using for extentions?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022921 MidwestMike (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4779 Re:Kickstand extention 5 Months ago   I had quite a surprise after giving my duals a test ride, came back and couldn't drop the kickstand. The only thing I found was a Kuryakyn unit, and it is junk. The extension is flimsy and bends before the kickstand comes down. I ended up letting it bend, and then wrapping it around the kickstand half a turn. Looks terrible but the only option I found.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022922 Shores (User) Go getchur scooter!

If not, just screw a small bolt into the end to provide a lip.   Logged     The west is the best - Jim Morrison Photo by GreenMachine   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022931 RonK (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1031 Re:Kickstand extention 5 Months ago   -- I have had some results by putting a short piece of rubber hose over the bump stop. It will extend the resting kickstand a little farther out. Also, if you keep the kickstand oiled, it will come down easier. --   Logged     [img size=150][/img][img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022935 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Kickstand extention 5 Months ago   I never had a issue if i used my heel but the varrons lowered kickstand was a pain in the arse! If you wouldnt mind a black side stand or paying for a rechrome you could weld on a tab to the foot or stem.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022947 HotRodStar (User) Midnight Rider RRRRRRRR Platinum Boarder Posts: 2669 Re:Kickstand extention 5 Months ago   OK, so it sucks without photos, but here is a google photo link to show what I did on my 02 with a painted sidestand (everythings apart for repaint...again ) https://photos.app.goo.gl/qvm9ffPHKCSTop4z2 The rubber (baby buggy) bumper is the same one used on the frame for the side stand. 5/16 round and a 5/16 hole drilled through the sidestand, then chamfered the hole in the bottom side and welded in the pin. It was all done with basic tools. If you had access to machine tools, would be a breeze to make with tighter tolerances and press fit it in.

Been thinking about a solution this week. Plan to try skate board tape to add some grip. My boot heel just slips off most of the time. If the tape doesnot work may try the HotRodStar approach and break out drill or welder.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022952 roadiemort (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7904 Re:Kickstand extention 5 Months ago   The easy way I have seen was from Mr. Tidy links now long gone. He replaced #28 with a longer bolt to hold the arm away from the frame more, then ground the hex head of the bolt to accept the rubber cap.3 nuts to bolt and lock it to the frame.PS: You might have to tap it with a hammer to bend it to line up the bumper after its all bolted in.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/09/26 21:25 By roadiemort.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022966 Jlb76 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1609 Re:Kickstand extention 5 Months ago   Thanks for the advice I got home late from work tonight so I couldn't try any of them. I'll try some thing tomorrow. Like shores said my boots with aggressive tread isn't a problem but my Steel toed boots I wear to work suck to hook it   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1023149 MidwestMike (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4779 Re:Kickstand extention 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Shores wrote: Comes down easing using my heel as long as my boots have tread.

They route a little differently.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
