'nother newby numpty question - sidestand, K100
« on: October 09, 2012, 02:47:21 PM »
If someone has the time - or already has the image - please could you post up a pic of what the side-stand fixing should look like? On my '89 RT, the bolt that's fitted is like this -



It protrudes so far through the other side it fouls the springs, preventing them from going over-centre and holding the stand down. I'm aware the side-stand auto-retract is missing (don't think I want it anyway).

Suggestions for a neat solution would be very welcome.

Thanks

Auto-retract is not related.

The later K bikes had a collar(bushing) on that blot with a Zerk grease nipple in it. I'm guessing you have the later longer bolt but without the bushing.
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

From the parts catalog it looks like the shorter bolt is part 46531451847.
