Kickstand help

Leans over way to far means that bike falls over. If your bike doesn't fall over then that's how the 1st gen SV side stand works.

Curious. My kickstand on my 2001 sv650s is absolutely crazy low. The lean on this thing is insane. It's the leaning tower of sv650s for sure..

It leans further over than I like. It now leans even worse because I installed 1/2 inch up dog bones.

My 2001 naked also has a crazy lean, but i have had the bike since it was new and it was always like that. Plus over the 8 years it has never gone any lower. I have seen other Gen1's with less lean, but i just figured that how my bike was made.

There is a fork at the upper part of the kickstand leg(where the pivot bolt goes thru), remove the kickstand bolt & put the fork in a Lg.vise & squeeze it back together, then reassamble it & your "sportster" lean will be gone.

I'm probably going to be modding some more GSXR stands really soon.. keep a look out..I'll post up when I'm done.

These are for the 1st gen only

Have you made them yet?

I'm waiting on 3 from Ebay. Unfortunately they are not easy to find cheap. At the going rate with shipping, most are out of the sellable range. As it is now, $45 is kinda high for a kickstand from me but that's basically modding them for free.

I would be interested in one.

What year model you need? I will keep an eye out.

<---- Another satisfied customer here. Major props to muller for primo work.

Basically anything 600/750/1K from 01 to now except the 00-03 600/750 are what I'm looking for. The 00-03s will work but are slightly shorter..still almost 1" longer than a stock one though.

Let me know if you end up with an extra - I'd like to buy one.

Certainly..it's just a matter of finding enough for cheap enough.. I've probably got about 10 people interested as of now so I guess I better get hunting.

I will keep my eyes peeled.
