\nTwo years already\u2014time flies! With the rear suspension so long, the bike sleeps on the sidestand, and it’s heavy to pick up. I don’t like that, so for once we’re making a custom sidestand.<\/p>\n

\nStainless steel pipe, 20 mm diameter, 2 mm wall thickness\u2014we bend it smoothly with the bender.
\nWith the right tools, this kind of work goes cleanly without needing to heat and bend by hand.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nWe shape the sole and apply radius finishing. When each piece looks clean on its own, the final result looks good too\u2014no need to hide it with black paint.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe base gets used, so we machine it on the lathe with an inlay cut\u2014about 5\/100 inch.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThis way it won’t break off physically. Done.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nSolid welding all the way around. Fabrication and custom work isn’t our main business, so please forgive the rough welds.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nRounding the pin tip looks nice too.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe foot rod looks better and deploys easier when it’s U-shaped.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe sole is welded solid too.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"
\nI hate discoloration, so we grind it all off. The base is iron, so we coat it with our usual durable paint.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"
\nSimple and looks great.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThe spring is Honda, as always. The spring rate is low, so the sidestand moves very smoothly. It has a cover, so it stays clean.<\/p>\n

Custom fabrication work is basically limited to existing customers.<\/p>\n
