searching for a k5 kickstand
maddoggy:
anyone know of a good kickstand made for the k5? i know promoto makes a nice one, but i'm checking to see if i can find something maybe just under $100. my bike fell over in our 4wlr/bike shed and layed on my sons xr100 for a few days before my wife found it and it distorted the front fender and right shroud so bad that they need replaced now. i'm sick of stuff like this happening so i'm getting a good kickstand.

I looked and looked for a good kickstand. Considered the ones that clamp on the swingArm. But my bike is so nice I couldn't bring myself to do it..
So then I looked at the one the guy on eBay was selling.. I think someone on here did a writip on it... But it was just a kinked piece of pipe... And didn't fit right if memory serves...
And the fact that for one hour of overtime at work it payed the differance between cheap and hoaky vs the promoto
My promoto stand should show up in the mail today... I can't wait to get home and look at it's billit goodness...
Got mine for $150.03 shiped to the door

I'd get the Promoto, have bought three now for the KX250, KX450 and KX500. I never have to work on it or adjust, tighten or bend it back. It just works and is tucked out of the way so well when its up. Never have to think about it. One of the better designed products out there.

I have the bolt-on style on my trail bike. It requires holes drilled in the swingarm then nut-serts to be put in. The tool they provide to put the nut-serts in was junk, luckily my work has the big poprivet style tool for putting them in which made it real slick. And if you have kids you go riding with Kickstands make things alot easier, on all the bikes.CBX

i appreciate the reply, but there is absolutely no way i would ever put any holes in my swingarm. the way things are looking i will probably end up with a pro moto kickstand. msr makes a nice stand and trailtech does too but neither one lists a fitment for the kx500 :cry:
