Universal Clamp-on Side Stand

I came across this and wondered if anyone else had experience with it or something like it? The rear stand is wonderfully stable but it's a pain when just making a short stop. The fact that it's not permanent is also appealing.

Re: Universal Clamp-on Side Stand

I fitted something similar to my BSA/Indian special. Even at a gentle angle, the clamp wouldn't hold tight to the frame however tight I did the bolts. The bike actually fell over at one rally. So I MIG welded the back clamp to the frame, but still only trust it for minor halts, preferring the rear stand for proper parking. I also welded a 'heel' hook to the foot. Ron

I understand that a number of more established sellers have stopped selling them as a number of those currently being made have snapped in use.

I agree with Ron and have brazed welded them to my A10s to avoid the clamp rotating.

They are Universal
As in fits nothing properly and fails on everything.
If you need a side stand do a search there was a drawing of the plate used for the short side stand some time back.
basically it is an extended brake pedal plate
Simple thing to fabricate and then get hardened.
I printed it out and gave it to a friend along with a B40 GA side stand and he tells me it works a treat.
