Well it finally happened, the side stand pivot bolt on my 05 CityX sheared off. Luckily it was still holding up my bike but now I need a replacement. One of the local HD/Buell shops doesn't have one in stock. Can any of the sponsors let me know if they have one they can get to me quicker than the 1 week lead time my local shop gave me? | |||

I used a .5" dia. by 1" hardened shoulder bolt. It let me take the slack out of the factory setup. Much smoother operation and more secure when up and down.    | |||

Tread - That's the ticket!! Where did you get the bolt? Nothing like that at my hardware store. Roro- The kickstand was one of those classic Buell non-recalls. They upgraded the Kickstand, should have been a recall, and now you can't get the bolt for the old models, not that you would want one, - they obviously don't work. Other non-recall recalls are : 2003 XB9 Belt Front Engine isolator Spark plug wires Firebolt headlights Maybe one or two others that I have forgotten. | |||

Got a pic of the sheared off bolt? I have an '03 with the original stand/bolt/switch and I'm going to the newest version stand with just the "dowel"/e-clip. Curious if this isn't a good fix either?... TIA Kaveman | |||

Oh, me too, me too! (That is, if someone has a spare one, sell me it!) You should see the cobbled together POS I've got right now! Although it's sturdy, it's ugly. Grade 8 allen bolt and a stainless flanged sleeve/bushing thingy. It wobbles a little side-to-side and I keep my eye on it. I'm NOT paying $60 for the "upgrade", and that's IF you can find it!  I was told that they were on national back-order! Which means they're a POPULAR item, no? Which means a LOT are being replaced... Hmmm...a "non-recall recall". (thanks GJ!) | |||

Buy the new pin and clip, drill the old mount to fit, you're done. That's what I did, anyway. | |||

Shoulder bolts are sold at McMaster-Carr. The company I work for orders regularly from them, but I have never done it personally, so I have no experience with regards to small purchases there. You can do a search by typing shoulder bolts in the find field at left. The printout below is about 1/2"D, 1"L models per Trademarks' info above. www.mcmaster.com
