I've never broken a sidestand!

just lucky I guess but have never done any of the bad stuff Pollo listed above so I've been a good boy!

but I have welded up the bracket many, many times

1) in order to stop the sidestand over extending forwards and taking too much pressure asd the bike leans over further.

2) drilled the hole and put a top hat bush in, then again and put the later pivot bolt in.

3) welded the back flick stop so that there was always the correct tension on the springs when the stand was UP so that the springs were right when the stand was DOWN!

i also always use both springs.

it doesn't matter how many parts you sell, you can't be there for the customer to see the abortions they are prepared to ride around. I have about 7 Husabergs here at the moment from customers and only one has a sidestand.

it's not cheap either is it!
sidestand
inner spring
outer spring
C hook
pivot bolt
some drilling $$$
some welding $$$
some spraying $$$

I had to weld one of the stands that cracked at the tube and bracket. I had a friend sit on it with the stand down and I told him not to do that because I could tell already its not made for that kind of weight. A few days later I noticed it was split nearly in half.

Mine(FS650E @ 380mm stand's length) broke at the weld between the pipe and the pivot plug too, welded it using a piece of tube to make it stronger.




The final project after some grinding and painting.

Yes, 24 goes inside 25--that's how my old '05 FE650 was.
Unfortunately, my current '01 is missing its kick stand. I'm looking for one if someone has one to sell.

Sorry to hijack but it's same topic. Anyone done repairs to the actual frame? My side stand seems to have a bit of side to side play in it. Thinking some chunky box section or angle iron welded into place would do The job?

get yourself the 2004 pivot bolt. it is fatter. drill out the hole and use that instead. that tightens things up. put a photo up of the condition of the frame and that will give me a better idea of how far 'gone' it is?

Think it just needs a bit of straightening. Easy enough to remove and replace though.

like I said; 2004 pivot bolt will sort that.

but you haven't been listening to me much lately so i don't expect things to be any different this time.

You asked for pictures so I've posted them?

Are you referring to the engine build or the suspension?

The engine build I've already told you I'm more than capable of building an engine, so I'm not going to pay anyone 300 for labour charges. I can also source bearings reasonably cheaply so again I'm not going pay you more for the same stuff.

With regards to the forks I haven't decided what to do with them, But as your customer relations is on such top form I doubt I'll be sending them to you.

Every time you sober, you helpful dude. Every time you impaired you all wonkey. Kick the habit man, whatever it is. And your business will pick up.

Seems to me we get the grumpy arse more often than the decent guy. Sure he's in there somewhere just waiting to get out
