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:

Now you see the hairpulling I went through before I just decided to order the Promoto.
I got the promoto toay... and this thing is BEEFY... much beefyer than danger's pictures make it look..
It took me longer to cut it out of the packaging, and get the tools, than it did to put it on... ITS THAT EASY..
This has to be one of the best designed parts I have ordered for a long time...

i guess I'm old school. My bike is either on a crate, or I'm riding it. Sometimes I ride with dual sport guys and I always get asked about what an inconvenience it must be not to have a kickstand. I then thought about it and realized, I've never had a kickstand on any of my dirt bikes, and to be honest, it's never been a problem. Most of the kickstands I've seen aren't something I would want to put on a race bike, but this promoto unit does look well built.

Build one is the best. Not hard and the instructions and plans are on the site. Cam.

I bought that cheap one from Ebay. Not good quality at all. The leg bent right in the middle. Avoid it.
