Upgraded Kickstand for Hawk 250 DLX?

SirPorl · 10-07-2024, 01:48 AM

Anyone upgrade their kickstand? These bikes lean over quite low and the metal quality of the stock ones is suspect. My Hawk DLX kickstand snapped tonight. Wondering if there is anything better out there.

Thanks

Snapped? Were you riding or parked?

While parked. Nothing like having to pick up the bike in a parking lot. While heavy for a 250, not that heavy.

It snapped at the weld. Just curious if anyone has found anything better. My ability to fabricate is limited.

I looks like someone broke it. It doesn't look like a weld failure, not fully anyway.

I would just say to take the other part off and weld them back together. Other than that just buy a new stock one.
