does anyone have a sidestand for an S2 they want to get rid of. I want to try modifying one like the Don Castro site recommends, as I cringe every time I lower my S2 onto the stand and watch it lean and lean and lean creaking and cracking as it comes to rest. I just know it is going to break.

I would like to get a couple of stands bent to the right configuration. I do not have the means to heat and bend, but would like to have them done. How much? I can send them to you...REX

Same reason the case mounted S1 side stand . . also featured on the cover of Cycle World . . . didn't.

Tiny problem could have major consequences with side stand rigidly attached to case.

I put the aftermarket side plates on my S2, and then an M2 sidestand. It stand normal now. Now for the other S2 in the garage. Cannot afford more custom plates, so a bending of a side stand will be that option.

I got a set as well, for my S2. Might have been....what...'06? Same deal, but I run an S1 kickstand (which, actually, is the same other than color - S1 is gray, M2 is black).

Now my converted, non-L M2L with it's L sidestand...leans like an original S2!
