Extended side stand mod...with pics

[marc7/11]

Hi Folks , 

I had a side stand problem on my 7/11, the bike sat way too far over .

So after reading a few threads on here I noticed a member here used a new mounting plate .

Great idea so I did the same , all the ally you see is 10mm plate and  seems plenty strong enough.

and the distance between original holes measured 35mm so I moved the bracket down 35mm 

so in effect the new plate on the rear had 35mm spaced holes left to right and up and down.

the smaller plate you see was just a back up incase there was any flex in the main bracket , this would allow and movement to be taken up by this smaller plate in a compression capacity.

As it happens there is no flex at all.

The original side stand had M8 threads so these were just drilled out for  clearance holes .

and now some pics..

You'll need some steels over those little pigs or you will ruin your nails Marc !

I just cut the side stand and added a 20mm piece of round bar welded up and repainted it.
