A7/10 sidestand frame bracket. wanted

[chaterlea25]

Hi All,
I have seen those cheapo £25-30 stands fail in no time 
The lugs with the U bracket look feeble compared to the original weld/braze one side and bolt on the stand side
in my opinion
The swing arm A7/10 frame tubes are about 90 thou wall thickness so easily damaged
I have made the inner half clamp about 5/16in. thick to take the bolt threads but still need to shape the ends around the bolt holes
I am thinking about how to make the stand side half lug from a solid lump

I turned a piece of steel into a well fitting tube, then sliced it in half.

 I cut out the side stand pivot and welded it up.

 The welds look great in person, not good on camera the light and shadow from the powder coat does not very funny things.

 I had bought a clamp on lug, but after looking it over I did my own thing. It was not made well, and the material it was made from was suspect.

 I could see it slipping around on the frame tube and dumping the bile.

Maybe i should just try and get a centre stand instead! 

I will get the welder set on high and get some thick steel plate and fabricate something.

Not sure who the OP was but I remembered a request for one last week at Newark 'jumble when I saw this one....

Still need one?

It cost me £15. Used, off a frame but looks sound.
