I'm done for now maybe come back latter. To busy with the buds, bikes, mods and cruis'in I'm not ready for
Facebook, twitter or the likes. Didn't like TV soaps when I was a kid. I still don't care for them now.
I know this does not apply to all of you. Maybe someday there be a blog that is concerned with content
and not word play.

I will still canvas the blogs to see what fixes are out there.
I do applaud those who have the ability to to post and deal with the rest.
Some people build bikes others complain but offer no solutions.
I guess there just miserable in there own skin.
To bad so sad
Latter!

What happens if you pull out and forget to put the kick stand up? Does it fold up like the factory or will it throw you off the bike, this could be very dangerous. I believe the sloppyness, so to speak, is by design untill it has excessive wear. I picked a new one(kickstand) off e-bay for $8.00.

Nice write up though

Wow, take a chill pill, I only asked a simple question, but after 43 years as a senior design engineer and 10 global patents, I'm glad you explained that to me cause I had no clue how it worked.:cheers:

Ok … I guess there is some confusion out there. I made this point in pictures number 5, 6, 7 and 8.
1. You do not add any material to inner workings or alter design or function pictures 7 and 8.
2. If you Change the dynamics of how the kickstand works it will no longer function properly.
So by your comments I can tell you read this. Now pictures 5 and 6 show that bdm did not allow for
prolonged wear on the strike point of the stand stop/lock area. The stand Bracket ( part bolted to the bike) was
designed without enough material to sustain the repeated use and load of the bike.
They over machined this contact point. When it wears it allows the leg “U” channel to pass beyond the
stopping point then “CRASH” down it goes. This action is further enhanced if the bolt is allowed to loosen.
The two combined “ wear plus Loose bolt” will accelerate your loss. The stand will not engage the bike will drop.
It is here that you are rebuilding the bracket (Part bolted to bike) the levers (leg) contact surface.
What you see in the final pictures is enough build-up contact surface NOT TO ALLOW the legs “U” channel to pass
beyond the (Bolted on bike bracket) stopping point. This fix adds more holding material to the (bolted on bike) bracket.
Not allowing the Leg top (“U” channel) to pass by. Even if the bolt loosens it will allow you a margin of safety.
To put it another way: Contact point will not wear allowing leg “U” top to pull past the (bolted to bike) bracket stop.
You have built this stop up. Look at the bracket . Do you see the detent in the bracket? This is where the stand needs to
align itself to be as new. You are restoring it to this configuration.
As to the comments about the stand knocking back if caught. You commented:
“sloppiness, so to speak, is by design until it has excessive wear”.
“What happens if you pull out and forget to put the kick stand up?”
“Does it fold up like the factory or will it throw you off the bike”
It is obvious I wasn't clear enough.
No. 1.. It will not wear out, like the factory incorporated design fault.
No. 2… it’s not going to wear and FALL DOWN like the factory.
No. 3... It will function exactly as stock just better and with long term dependable.
NO CHANGES are made to the DYNAMICS OF THE STANDS OPERATION.
If I chop my finger off in a blender do I buy a new blender and do it again?
Or do I not put my finger in the blender? You could have 9 more tries. I think
You might need to ponder that one.
If your happy repeating mistakes already suffered by others by all means continue doing so.
Good luck with that.

Why not just buy a new one and skip all the bull. If your tires wear from to much use do you buy new ones or do you add new rubber on the worn out area :loony:

Ok I apologize if I came off a little harsh. My experience runs very deep as well but no need to do my laundry here. By your first reply I took you as someone shallow as I had explained in detail most of what you questioned. I'm also glad you were able to find a replacement for 8 bucks. That's a deal of the year. My experience has turned over 107 to 158 for a new replacement. Now someone of your stature must also realize that all things can be improved upon. Many improvements are very simple. The description you gave of how the kickstand worked (I believe the sloppyness, so to speak, is by design untill it has excessive wear.) with both type-Os and description just spoke volumes. (Sloppiness, until)
So to all this I can apologize. But yes the improvement still stands even if you are willing to re-buy and replace with the same problem only to experience disappointment latter. When that awesome machine slams the ground less that which a simple repair would have avoided. It's all good and the tech-tip is truly for those who are looking for a cost defective long term worry free fix. I do appreciate your mention of (10 global patents) this I applaud you for all the good work. With this in mind please show some depth when evaluating ideas from others.
my Regards to you

Jeff, Nice write up on the kickstand repair. But WOW, I cannot believe your reply to Carlos and Ker this being your first thread. We try and help each other out. People are going to have other opinion's and questions which doesn't make them wrong or idiots. If there was a sincere apology to Ker I missed it with your remarks “ I took you as some one shallow” and “ with this in mind please show more depth when evaluating ideas from others” In my opinion not a good start on your journey with Big Dog Biker. The kickstand post yes but not your reply to the other member’s opinion’s or questions. Also, your first post should have been your introduction.
