For those who have looked over the mounting of the pro-moto kick-it stand and are not really satisfied with what they find
. Here is a mod you can do to give the subframe and stand a chance to be stiff, and line up correctly.
I am having trouble finding the correct tubing to make the sleeve,
(S.S.- 10mm O.D. x 8mm I.D. x 1mm wall) gotta call Swagelock again on Mon... BUT I found some 3/8" brake line at NAPA that is far enough off on it's tolerances that it's more like 10mm than 3/8" SO It works good enough!
New HDW package.
Shortened nut to clear swingarm.
32mm Bolt for extra nut.
New 15mm replacement sleeve.
Top hole of stand drilled to 25/64" to accept new sleeve.
Sleeve in place holding BOTH frame ears and ALL thru subframe.
Stand Back on.
Extra insurance backing nut.(use blue threadlock. )
You may need to adjust the length of the sleeve to get the correct squish when tite. You do not want to bottom-out on the sleeve. 16mm would bottom on mine so I filed it to 15mm and it's perfect squish. And with a drill press, drilling the top hole is a breeze. Just use a fresh bit!
NO MORE SLOP WHEN FLIPPING IT UP AND DOWN! LIKE A ROCK
