Svsam Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) I picked this up last weekend as it’s got a few bits I want for my project. Not sure if it’s come from anyone on here originally? I plan on using it for the rest of the year before I start pinching bits. Was a bit surprised to have the kickstand scrape the floor on a left handed the other evening is this common on slingshots? Is there anything I can do to make it higher as I down want to end up low siding down the road. Any suggestions appreciated Edited September 27, 2019 by Svsam 1 Quote Link to comment
baldrick Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 is the stand bracket damaged? im sure the sidestand should come up further towards the footpeg than yours. 1 Quote Link to comment

MeanBean49 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Does, look ti be sitting a, bit low at the rear too, should be close to where it is on the padock stand without being on the stand 1 Quote Link to comment
Duckndive Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 side stand looks wrong I thought the spring peg was on the inside Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Looks same as my 1100L. 1 Quote Link to comment
baldrick Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 yeah i just had a look at mine, mines a bit further up at the back, but not much Quote Link to comment
Racer-X Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Is the spring too long (wrong spring?) Allowing the side stand to sag? If you try and lift the stand, does the spring go loose on the mounting peg? Quote Link to comment
Racer-X Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 ........ if it were me though I'd drill and tap a thread and fit a titanium bolt and just spark the shit out of it on left hand bends! Lol Quote Link to comment
Hoomietune Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Cut a wee notch out the the holding bracket to enable side stand to fold up to horizontal position with a spring change Quote Link to comment
Svsam Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) It’s definitely the right stand. after a bit of searching around I think it’s the swingarm that’s making the bike sit real low at the back as@MeanBean49spotted. Was also running a 160 tyre on a 5.5” rim which wasn’t giving a lot of lean angle. made myself a pair of dog bones 15mm shorter that the ones on it bought what I thought was and original 4.5” rim off eblag with new 170 pilot power tyre. Turns out I can’t read and got another 5.5 but at least the tyre sits on it better now! went for a quick 20mins blast and feels way better at turning in now Edited October 31, 2019 by Svsam 2 Quote Link to comment
MeanBean49 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Looks a lot better for sitting a bit higher too. Actualky be nice with both wheels white Quote Link to comment
