Title: Who makes a longer sidestand for the S2R 800?
Post by: EEL on April 15, 2009, 01:05:04 AM
I raised the ride height last weekend and the bike is leaning a bit more that I feel confortable with. Who makes longer sidestands? I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Worst case you could always weld on an ext. piece to the stock stand and paint/powdercoat ..

you can still find a bunch of cycle cat sidestands here and there. try oncycles


alternatively, you can just get a block of metal and drill a few holes in it and fasten it in place, or just weld it.

Doesn't Nichols carry em?  I need one too.  I've been sliding a 3/4" piece of cedar under my stand for two years now.

I heard that MotoCreations is coming out with new sidestands - don't know when, but I expect them to be cool.

Talked to Jim @ nichols. He doesnt provide new stands but he'll weld on a spacer at the bottom of my existing stand to elevate it.

That is just too cool.  I've been wanting one for a long time and to get a longer stand too is great.
