Here's a shot down under the primary cover where the side stand mounted.  You can see the lousy weld.
A pathetic simulation showing how I bent the side side stand with a torch to make up for welding the bracket on at the wrong angle.  My dad used to joke about golfers who had a bad slice "fixing" their slice by just standing at an angle to the fairway.  They still sliced, only the ball went down the fairway kinda sorta.  Same stupidity here.  I should have ground of the bracket and started over.  Actually the real cool way to fix this is to pull the motor and .........
weld in the is genuine authorized factory replacement piece I got from Turlock Bob at the Cow Palace swap meet.   I'm keeping this in reserve just in case I can't fix this thing with the engine in.  Time will tell.  Meanwhile I hope Bob beats that murder rap the prosecutor is dogging him with.
