Side/prop stand for A7

[CotswoldsA7]

Does anybody out there know of a good quality prop stand (forged?). Reading some older posts l have become aware of problems with some - to say the least. The thing on the bike is beyond redemption.
Burton Bike Bits one looked OK? Thanks in anticipation. Chris.

I bought a Triumph one from Burtons and modified it. When I saw a NOS original on EBay I bought that. If I still have the one I modded you can have it, but my memory is not as good as it used to be so I may already have offered it to someone else. I'll have a look later. Does your machine currently have the stand mount attached to the frame? If not, my one will be no good for you.

Here is a picture of the one I got from Burtons and then cut down and added a foot.

Mine doesn't have the rear half of the lug brazed on either, so can anyone recommend a side stand (possibly some universal type)?

[Greybeard]

First picture is what my modified Triumph stand looked like.  My bike has the stand mount, (not just half of it) already attached to the frame so all I needed was the actual leg and spring. I got the angle of the foot wrong but it worked ok. The other pictures I've just taken, (sorry about the muck!) is of the NOS one I have. It's far more delicate in appearance.

Assuming you have a swing arm frame you can use a side stand from a triumph T160 and slightly modify it for length

Thanks to all for advice. Some food for thought. C.

Plunger or S/A?
If your gentle and don't use your full weight on her when kicking. One of these cheapies will stop it falling over.

Yep, there's always that type, though I think I'd drill and tap for a grubscrew to be fitted around the back somewhere.
Seen more than a few bikes over the years leaning at a crazy angle due to one of those, though also seen a few where someone's got pee'd off with that and taken the MiG to it too..

i put one of those clamp-on stands on the b33 - I could not stop it rotating under the bikes weight when just held with the clamp/bolts. annoying

[Greybeard]

Obviously the steeper the lean angle the less pressure on the clamp to rotate. But then, the steeper the lean angle the more difficult it is to find a safe parking spot.

Odd, the first link worked when I tried it but now it's gone. The new link is ok ATM.

Update: I didn't realise it's being sold by Burton Bike Bits. So, you should have some expectation of quality.

 Just don't set your quality expectations too high.
