longer side stand
I needed a longer side stand after installing an Ohlins shock with a bit more length.
After looking around the garage I found the 98 vfr800 stand was almost the same. It is an inch or so longer, but has more bend as well. End result is about 3/4 of an inch measured at the frame slider. Feels much better. Cost = $20 on fleece bay.

I was just about to machine up a new longer one for mine.... AS that's a nice factory option you found.... I'll do that ...

Is that a GS500 in the corner??
I've owned 2 of them, and I still believe it's the most underestimated bike for having fun in tight corners!! It's an absolute hoot in the twisties and will shame much larger bikes!

CBR 1100 Blackbird or X-11 naked Blackbird stands fit too.

I am sure many Honda side stands work, but I only had the vfr800, vfr750, and Hawk GT to compare. Of those only the 98-01 vfr works.
If anyone has length on others that work post them up.
