Freebie XR80 kickstand version 1

I have a feeling I will be redesigning this thing lol as it's kinda a butcher job
But here is a mock 1st attempt. I was to lazy to drag out welder. You will see

Found a length of stainless in the shed. Only usable piece I could find



I cut a manageable piece off



Then I created the "hinge" end
Drilled a hole



Then notched the end out to go over the factory mount



I drilled a smaller hole slightly longer then the spring. From the original spring mount
Here's where I was to lazy to weld
I used a bolt and 2 nuts to creat the second spring tab



Moving it through its motion





I then cut it to length. Have no way of explaining how I got the length. Just a guess lol

Here it is on the stand



I'll try it for a bit as is. But guessing it will go back to the drawing board lol

This took all of an hour so wasn't expecting perfection

That's all for now

Dave
