This product is requested from time to time. Guessing at a rough price estimate $120/150/??

Your interest is not binding, I'm just trying to explore if there is actual interest before we talk to Swatt MotorCycle Products to see if they can make such a product.


BTW - just wanted to credit Teutonics - it's he who have contacted Swatt to see what can be done. We'll keep you posted.

My 2004 S4R sidestand was too short. I didn't dare change the ride height for fear of bike tippage. I found the longer Cycle Cat stand to be very helpful. Since they're no longer around I would think there's a market.

I'm interested (provided powdercoated black is an option  ;) )

You should make this thread a poll.

I definately would go for a little longer. +1 on the powder coated.

Is there a way to enable two votes, as in "longer" AND "black" ?

Yes, but all you'll get are dirty answers if you phrase it like that.

My mind doesn't work like that - honest :D

I'm looking for a cycle cat +1.  I'd be interested in seeing what they came up with.

Sound's like "LA" has been at it again.  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

sure.

+1 (to reflect my poll response)

hmm... i always feel like my bike is too upright when on it's stand... wouldnt that require a shorter stand?
i think it's fine the way it is... so.. boobies.

Interested in 1" longer

The S*R stand is pretty easily modified on its own whether its too long or too short, as long as you know a fairly competent welder nearby.  The problem I had was with the 695 stand since it was iron, no one wanted to touch it as far as welding goes.  I recently just put on a S2R stand and it works fine for me since I don't have the low mount exhausts anymore.  It is still just very slightly low, but I'm considering having a more substantial foot fashioned for it to take care of that, as well as to give a bit more area to grab with my boot when putting it down.  It also hits the shift linkage when retracted, so a little nub welded on will take care of that.  Something to consider for those with S*R stands rather than fabbing up a whole new one.

I've got that problem with the rizoma rearsets - it doesn't hit but tucks in under it.  I can't lower it with boots on (shoes work though) so I lean over and lower the stand by hand. 

Is there room with the rearsets to build and shape a grab point by welding?

you can call it the BBK (big black kickstand)

+1 to cutting and welding length to the stock piece. I cut the foot off of mine and welded in a 1" long piece of 1/2" round bar. I beveled both pieces and blended it out. 30 minutes in the garage. a welding shop minimum would be in the $40-$60 range. I'm not nay saying a manufactured unit, just informing. 

i didn't even think of getting a shorter after market stand...i just went to a wielder and had him trim it down for like 50 bucks......

Update: 

I got word back from Swatt that he will work up a design and pricing, but it will be a couple of weeks due to projects in process and other commitments.  If there are any special requests (e.g. black, or ???), now (or at least in the near future) is the time to get your wish list in...

I'll post more information as it becomes available.

black and maybe an inch taller  [thumbsup]

Black for me. I guess powdercoated, but that's not important

I made mine a foot longer!  :)

I like Bill Johnson's TurboMonster DucKickstand

Update (of sorts... at least to add closure to the thread):  After multiple, regular follow-ups, and after receiving multiple, regular excuses and non-responses, I have given up.  :-[  I just ordered the cycle cat stand from oncycles (which seems to be very fairly priced BTW).

Def  longer ... also would be nice to have a wider 'foot' ... I like the duck feet design, cant remember who did that ....

Well, thanks for trying [thumbsup]

The CycleCat stand is not for S*R bikes, is it?

Correct, my understanding is non-S*R bikes only.

They stopped selling the S*R longer stands from CC a few years ago... but not before I got mine. Woo hoo.  [cheeky]

Seriously though, the CC 1" longer anodized black was perfect for the rear being raised to a significant degree.
