\"DSC_5996\"
\nNow that I’ve got various preparations in place, I can finally get started. First, I’ll fabricate the sidestand from scratch.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"DSC_5978\"
\nI have a bender, so I can bend it with a quick “heave!” I generally don’t like heating and bending by hand.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_5980\"
\nThe shape of the foot is still giving me trouble… This is how it looks for now.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_5981\"
\nThe stand extension leg is also bent with a quick “snap!” from SUS stainless and installed.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_5987\"
\nI’m trying to make it easy to deploy and prevent it from rubbing… the challenges never end.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_5986\"
\nThe swingarm is from an RGB500 factory replica with added stabilizer, so I had to puzzle over the layout, but I managed to make it work.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_5992\"<\/a> \"DSC_5988\"
\nThe heel is still lifting slightly… it’ll wear in over time. I’m stopping here for now since I’m going to change the return spring to a double. A double with a lower rate is better than a single with a high rate\u2014it’s easier to deploy, and if one spring breaks, you can still manage. Safety and peace of mind come first.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_6001\"
\nI keep having to remake everything. I made the right cover with too sharp an angle, and it doesn’t look quite right.
\nLooking back at parts I made a while ago, I really cringe now.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_5998\"
\nIs it just me, or does the “superbike replica” look feel a bit painful now that I’m getting older?
\nMaybe I’ll go back to a plain spare cowl… I’ll take my time and work on it bit by bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
