Title: Side Stand
Post by: p51bombay on May 21, 2013, 07:30:29 AM
Among the issues I have to deal with is a side stand that is somewhat sloppy on its mount, at least when folded up.  While I have not pulled it apart to see what the issue is, from looking at photos of them on ebay it seems like it will likely be an elongated hole - is this a common issue?  If so, I'm guessing many of the used ones will be the same so I might as well just look into getting a bushing installed to tighten it up again.

Had the same issue with effies side stand, used to flop around like an extra on a porn movie  :biggrin:, ,even leant over further than it should have,, at the time I just bought another and got lucky as it was like new as the ebay listing said, , if I hadn't bought one,  my fix would of been having the old stand mounting hole filled in,  and drilled to size for a tight fit,  , probably an easier way, but whatever works
