Sidestand spacers

Post by bikemonkey » Sat Dec 22, 2012 11:09 pm

Just fitted my Ethos half system and as predicted the sidestand is hitting it.

I know people have used spacers to stop it happening so what sizes did you use/where did you get them from?

From memory I think I just used washers behind the 2 side stand bolts.

I've got various stainless and alu spacers in the workshop from about 4mm thick upwards. Let me know what size you want :peace:

i just used a couple of spare ones from a rearset kit, about 10mm i think. Still didnt stop it touching so i glued a bit of hard rubber in the bit where the stand rotates to stop it returning all the way.

I'll have a closer look when I get home tonight.

I have my old sidestand rubber I can use as a stop.

Think I'll still be sending you a pm Steve, cheers for the offer :up:
