I would pay good money for a longer aftermarket sidestand!

detours · 08-01-2016, 03:55 PM

Seriously ... good money!

With my 19" front wheel and big knobbies, my RX3 just about falls over on anything less than level pavement. I modded a Vstrom sidestand foot to fit, but it fell off during a ride last weekend and I am seriously bummed.

Before I buy another overpriced metal hockey puck that I have to modify to make it work ... I thought I'd ask if anyone knows about an aftermarket sidestand that's longer than stock and is preferably lighter, and has a big foot base.

Ecomouse designed one last year, but not sure where that ended up. Any interest in this if he makes a bunch? or if we find another fabricator?

I raised the rear end with a "monoshock extension", a piece designed to fit over the top mounting point of the shock. That was to avoid my largish rear Wheel (120/90/17 Metzeler Tourance) to scrap the lower part of the airbox. Also went with a 19' front Wheel. Had to extend the side stand in order to not tip over to the left: cut it, fitted a small iron tube over the cut, welded with my hobby grade arc welding machine, and painted black. Also added a small metal plate with a bolt in order to give it more foot print.

Nicely done, Juanro!

So I just googled RX3 sidestand and look what popped up from CSC

http://www.cscmotorcycles.com/Billet...p/csc-5001.htm

I honestly would prefer a longer sidestand, but this would at least solve the tiny footprint without having to mod a foot made for another brand.

But I still want to know ... anyone besides me want a longer sidestand?

Can't help with the longer stand, as mine is almost too long after Rojo lower the bike... I do have Yoo's foot plate though.

Something like that would be awesome. Maybe I could find a machinist to do something like that for me.

I emailed CSC just now asking about a longer sidestand ... and if the TT250 sidestand would do the trick (assuming it fits).

I made a larger pad for the kickstand and added 1/2-inch in height. Just about perfect and it was all scraps I had lying around!

Here are the photos:

With some scrap 1/2" aluminum and a mill...:

This is the end result:

larger footprint is helpful. The CSC item will probably do the same.

So jealous ... All you people with lathes and mills and welders and skills ...

Detours, how much longer do you need it?

Have you considered bolting on a hockey puck to the bottom of the sidestand?
