For those who have looked over the mounting of the pro-moto kick-it stand and are not really satisfied with what they find :wink:. Here is a mod you can do to give the subframe and stand a chance to be stiff, and line up correctly. :-) I am having trouble finding the correct tubing to make the sleeve,
(S.S.- 10mm O.D. x 8mm I.D. x 1mm wall) gotta call Swagelock again on Mon... BUT I found some 3/8" brake line at NAPA that is far enough off on it's tolerances that it's more like 10mm than 3/8" SO It works good enough!

(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m510/delphipro/IMG_1369_1_1.jpg) Shortened nut to clear swingarm.
(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m510/delphipro/IMG_1368_1_1.jpg) 32mm Bolt for extra nut.
(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m510/delphipro/IMG_1364_1_1.jpg) New 15mm replacement sleeve.

(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m510/delphipro/IMG_1366_1_1.jpg) Top hole of stand drilled to 25/64" to accept new sleeve.
(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m510/delphipro/IMG_1363_1_1.jpg) Sleeve in place holding BOTH frame ears and ALL thru subframe.
(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m510/delphipro/IMG_1361_1_1.jpg) Stand Back on.
(http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m510/delphipro/IMG_1360_2_1.jpg) Extra insurance backing nut.(use blue threadlock. )
You may need to adjust the length of the sleeve to get the correct squish when tite. You do not want to bottom-out on the sleeve. 16mm would bottom on mine so I filed it to 15mm and it's perfect squish. And with a drill press, drilling the top hole is a breeze. Just use a fresh bit! :-D
NO MORE SLOP WHEN FLIPPING IT UP AND DOWN! LIKE A ROCK :wink:
