Side Stand

The stand had a burr in it too.  A big rat tail file takes care of this.  I make sure the pin just falls through the hole the way it is supposed to.
Here's a shot of the frame area I need to weld the bracket to.
The big improvement I am making in this setup compared to six month ago is that I am leaving the stand on while I position the bracket.  Last time I just had to guess at the angle the bracket had and I guessed way wrong.  It never occurred to me that the angle could be determined by the up position of the stand.  There is a little dent in the engine case where the stand used to hit when it was up.  This dent matched the little bracket on the stand where the spring goes to.   With the stand straightened out the way it should be it was easy to feel where it wanted to go.  The headache now was to hold it in place.  I tried to clamp it but that didn't work.  I then clamped a big clamp to the frame and adjusted so the stand would rest just right against the case.  Now I've got the free hand I need to do a tack weld while holding the bracket and stand with the other hand.

Notes:

Authoring: This site is created with the free composer program that comes with Netscape.  We are using 4.7 since rev 6 will not start on our Win2k box.  (Some coincidence that the latest Microsoft OS breaks Netscape huh?)

Our Guarantee: No Frames, no Java, no Swift C, no cookies, no cascading style sheets, no dot net monopoly bully and no Active Server Pages.  Minimal graphics and no audio without request.  Most documents in this site are available on pdf format and those will have full graphics content.  We also make the source documents available whether Excel or Word or Autocad.  We believe engineering and technology are an art.  Free sharing and expression are more important than small-minded monopoly rent seeking.  Feel free to use the files and materials on this site.  Good luck with your projects.
