Hey All,
Just installed the "upgraded" side stand to my '03 XB9SL. The pin setup is far superior to the half pin/half thread setup. I had to do away with the safety switch(soldered/shorted it)as well. Now the bracket that holds the spring/plate to the stand seems to stick out quite far. Should I be looking at the newer bracket as well? Is the standoff on the bracket for the spring shorter?
TIA.

I thought the Low models didn't require an upgrade, unless you just did it for peace of mind??

My original works fine.

Mine seems fine as well, what's the problem that needed to be corrected?

There have been reports of the bolts backing out and/or shearing off. In 07 the bolt was changed.

Yup the same bolt was used on the L version. Seemed really sloppy when I took it off. New "pin" version seems much more sturdy. Now to see if the mount plate is different on the later model setup...
