Does this Arleen Ness kickstand fit the K9?

On my K9 that kickstand kicks the rear brake and specially the brake hose..... Replaced it with the one from Kaptin today.

How do you like it?

Just installed it, bike is still on jack... On Upright position it sits better than Ness.... I have been on idle after hernia operation...

The length of my Ness stand wouldn't stay where I set it. So I adjusted to where I wanted it, took it off and drilled and tapped another set screw about 3/4" away from the stock one. I also ground another flat spot on the threads for the set screws.

That happened with my OEM one too. Came out and it was about 2' into the asphalt. Especially since it leans over so far, which is why I replaced it. I started carrying a puck after that.

Get the puck outI also carry one with me and use it all the time

Would you better off putting a pin in it, once you have established the length.

Too easy!

Thx all and will get with Kaptin

Right,
It sits nicely, but the bike do lean way much, looks scary and puts a lot of weight on stand!

That's what I was wondering about, that skinny foot on the bottom. This Florida asphalt can get soft. Plus the ground can be very sandy or swampy. You can use a vertically stomped down beer can in a pinch, did I hear someone say something about rednecking. LMAO!

Here is my Ness stand and lean. It is kicked so far forward it's scary.

 

[francoblay1]

I do recall seeing some "wedges" for these stands (so the bike does not lean too much).... someone here had it mounted and it looked great.

Wow, that is way too far for me. that's why I bought the adjustable ness. The ness pic you posted, the end is rotated too far forward. Rotate the end so it's pointing straight out.

WTF....I thought these were made for our bikes??? If it needs a wedge, it should come with one! I havent actually used my ness I got from BDPK because its on lift for winter. Now I'm worried.

After that clear hose wore off the "foot" it set perfectly parallel to the floor. I stopped changing out the clear hose.

 

[Jwooky]

I didn't mean parallel to the floor, from a top view it should be more perpendicular to the bilke centerline.

Then it doesn't set on the floor level, just the end rests on the floor. I have had the adjustment all over the place checking this out.

How does it sit when in upright position? Does it hit frame and/or brake lines? On my K9 it does...

No where close to frame or brake lines.

 

[Jwooky]

Weird, mine hit the brake line. I moved it slightly to clear but will still overtravel and hit if i swing it back hard.
