Your 86a should have a kickstand bracket. It prolly broke off over the years. My subframe on the pipe side is broke off, and I'm missing numerous brackets to bolt stuff on. All easy fixes no biggie. Ill have more updates to post as soon as rain stops going on 3 days straight tomorrow. Supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow morning but it won't stick here in bama. 76 degrees Saturday and sunny then Sunday it rains all day and today it never goes over 40 degrees crazy weather.
