tonepaq Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I am cutting out about an inch of my kickstand so the bike sits right after I lower it. If it wasn't aluminum, I could weld it myself. Can anyone here do it for me? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisknight Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) Just get an adjustable kickstand. Lowering that bike will greatly effect handling.http://store.58cycle.com/product_p/adj%20kick%20r6%2006.htm Edited May 17, 2010 by chrisknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonepaq Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I am aware of the handling concerns, thanks. Also aware that adjustable kickstands for $130 are for sale. Can you weld a stock one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisknight Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I think you could probably TIG weld it. I could do MIG or arc but I don't think it would work. Its cast though.. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahdey Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 dude! i have a shorter kickstand from when my bike was lowered. Don't cut up your factory one. 30 bucks and its yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hue jass Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hang on tonepaq, he's gotta find it, then find a ruler, then figure out where to measure, drink a beer, eat a SubWay, measure it, shoot something then re-post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahdey Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 i dunno, it was on my bike that was lowered 3 inches. It was raISED back to stock and i had to put a block of wood until the longer kickstand came in. It looks just like the factory kick stand.

tonepaq Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Broom stick under the seat, pushing on the battery compartment. Put a chair on either side, lift broom sitck and rest on chairs. Weight is off the suspension. The rear stand won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
