side stand

[alec]

does anyone know of a longer side stand for the storm, since putting the spacers on the shock the bike leans over further on the stand than i do at roundabouts

[Snoogle]

I've put more in my shock than you have and mine seems fine lol

I don't suppose you have you thought about welding on an extra bit of metal to the bottom of the side stand to compensate for the difference in height. Will save you finding one that fits etc

yeah thought about it mate but my welder was nicked last year and i'd rather do it myself than pay someone, also looking at second hand stands on fleabay it could be cheaper to buy one than have it welded mate

Fair comment, maybe there's a member daaaaaahn saaaaaarf local to you that could lend you their welder?

Could pay in bourbon biscuits then, seems to be the currency if choice lol

or bacon butty's and mugs of tea

Alec, I have an arc welder with which I am cr*p. You are welcome to use it with no risk of criticism as I will have no idea if you are right or wrong! LoL

Same offer re the use of a welder from me Alec, I'm a bit closer 30 mins or so from Tony's near Rochester. Battered Arc welder in the garage, but me neighbour has a mig & I know he would happily loan it for a weld or two. Whip the stand off & jump in the motah Dude.

Er very spattery TBH,I assumed you wanted to do the welding yaself, your welcome to use it if you know your electrodes from your slaggy spatter (form an orderly queue re:- slag jokes, the cloakrooms over by the door on your way out)
But as I said me neighbours quite handy with a welder & I'm sure he wouldn't mind helping out/lending.

Let me know if/when & I'll PM addy ect.

Don't make it too much longer, I had a Hornet a while back and whenever you got a rear wheel puncture it would sink down at the back, the side stand would then push it gently over off balance on to its RH side.
Three times it did that, once onto a parked car.
