Side Stand Failure

#1

Post by Rat »

My 1200 Standard has always leaned a lot on the side stand .... recently it seemed to be getting worse, I checked the mounting bolt and aside from a little free play, it seemed OK .... then this morning, as I parked at work, the stand just folded up ... caught the bike just in time and got it up on the centre stand :shock:

Anyone have this problem? Gonna need a 'new' removable frame piece ?

I have a spare one from my 77GL1000 Gord.
I can ship it to Cyborg for you to come get it that helps. You can have it for free.
Let me know.
PM is yes.

I'll pack it tonight and get it to UPS tomorrow.
I'll need Cyborg's address cause I can't locate it now, not sure where I put it.

I believe all the 1200's including the std use the same.
The 1100 might fit, haven't tried, but they look really close.

The 1000 is a different shape.
Great to keep these old 'Wings flying on down the road.

Are you sure it is the frame and not the stand or the bolt? "A little free play" over time will basically saw through the bolt to the point it will break. Of course, if the frame piece you're getting happens to have the side stand, you'll be good...

Haven't had time to investigate today yet, but I had the bolt out when checking before and it looked good ....

Couldn't find that one, but I have one from a 1100 which should fit.
I'll explain that in a minute, do you want it shipped to Cyborg or your bro?
Either will get it Friday

I think you'll find they are close but have different part numbers, so not sure if they are interchangeable

Honda couldn't have made it easy could they?
