Does anyone have a drawing of the bends? Cant find the old post on how to do it? Says been deleted or moved. | ||

This works much Better and no bends.With bends and I've tried them you have to lean bike to the left to take off stand and on and that's awkward!!!!!www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/47623/7286 02.html?1388181805 | ||

I made one like this. I like it fine. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/154438.html?1130035333 Maybe this is what you're looking for. There are further links in this link, I think one of them will be what you want. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/193402.html?1146804755 (Message edited by johnod on August 09, 2016) | ||

Ok chews your poison www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/discus.cgi? pg=next&topic=47623&page=453846 | ||

And it will still roll off stand just always park in low gear !!!!!!  | ||

With my primary mount stand, I can start it and walk away while it warms up. It's not going any where, and it doesn't lean over like a drunken sailor either. Cost me about $60 including old stand, and pro welding. | ||

John could u post how to make 1 like yours I'm very interested ! | ||
| Fabfun |
No doubt EBUTCH . Johnrod what kickstand you buy and what mods? I can weld and fab parts. Make a thread on it ? I looked at link to thread and i like that mount but got know what is used and how. | ||
| Johnod |
I'd be happy to, but, I'm too dumb to be able to post pics. If someone is willing to post pics I can email to him, and I can post the details. Will take a few days. Someone on here did one, I got the idea from him, and some pics etc. but I can't find a link, or any of the info, I got from him. Also can't remember his name here, so I can't give him the credit he deserves. (Message edited by johnod on August 10, 2016) | ||

whats the easiest way to remove the spring to remove stand? | ||
| S1owner |
Un bolt the kick stand then pivot it out slowly releaseing tension on the spring | ||

So, that looks like about a 10-15* bend forward, and a 10-15* bend down. Are they 2 separate bends? If 2 bends, did they use the same center (bend) point? Which should be done 1st? Thanks so much for posting! | ||

I couldn't say about the angles. I just used a small shop press and put the stand between two press plates and laid a decent sized impact socket on the stand where I wanted the bend and pumped the ram down on the socket so I'd get a smooth radiused bend. I stuck it on the bike and and checked it until I got the bend I wanted. Then I put a really slight bend in it at 90 degrees until I got the bike to lean at the angle I wanted. No rocket science here or measuring. I just bent it until it was the way I wanted it. Took about a half hour with all the fitting and checking. | ||

Posted this on my build thread but I am looking for the correct lean angle of a tuber. | ||
| Court |
The S2 is a lot greater angle than the rest of the tube frame bikes. The rest, for the most part, are all about the same. |
