terrordactyl250 Posted April 10, 2010 well after installing the devol lowering link. my bike sits so low i have park it on a slight hill just to keep it from tipping over...alot of fun that is. what would be a good replacement for the stock kickstand that is shorter? would a nx650 or xr600 work? i dont want to cut the stock kickstand incase i want to raise it back up after i cut the seat down. any help would be awesome:thumbsup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjast My Ride Posted April 10, 2010 One option I read about was grinding the kickstand stop (up by the pivot) so it would lean more and could be repaired by welding back what you ground if you wanted it back to stock height, I have no idea if that would work with the kickstand safety switch or not.

HeadTrauma Posted April 10, 2010 '83-87 XL600Rs are a shorter bike with a side stand that is 1" shorter(~13.5" vs. 14.5 for my XR600) and I'm pretty sure it mounts the same way as a 650L. Also an option is to get another '88-00 XR600 or '93+ 650L stand and shorten it so you'll have an unaltered spare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrordactyl250 Posted April 10, 2010 good thinking. its just that when i sell my bike (if ever) i want to have all the stock parts. thanks for the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElginEddie Posted April 10, 2010 If you do decide to chop the stock stand, let me know and I'd be more than happy cutting it and welding the base pad back on for ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunmanguns Posted April 11, 2010 ya the xl600r stand plan would be the best bet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
