    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fabricated Kickstand

Fabricated Kickstand

Problem solved.
Only took me about 4 hours of cutting, grinding, fitting, welding, refitting x5, and painting last night until 2:30am.

Tucks up nicely out of the way and the bike leans over about 1 deg less, which is OK with me. When I added 1" ride height to the rear it really made it lean on the stand.
Plenty strong. I made the hinge out of 1/4" plate and cut them in a "V" shape. Then I notched out the tube to match. I did it so my main welds weren't 90 deg to the round tube.
I couldn't decide on a foot shape so I just traced the shape of of the original seed shape.

Sorry, didn't realize this one was out of focus until now.
