Side Stand

	Here's the second tack weld. It's a little droopy but some of that glop is flux that will break off. I did a little one with the clamp setup and using my left hand I could get the stick in for a little tack. I then took the pin out (easily due to all that deburring ) and did a pretty big tack.
	I put the stand back on to eyeball it and see how it looks in the up and in the down position. I compare the gap from the top of the pin to the engine case to another bike.
	Here I swing the stand back and see how it looks in the up position. It looks much better than it used to with that bent stand. It is a little low but it almost stops in the exact same dent the original stand did 25 years ago. After this looked OK I just ran the stick around the bevels. It's like paint-- days of preparation minutes of painting. The actual welding took about 20 seconds. It was still a little splattery so I won't shame myself with a picture you decent welders will laugh at.

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.
