    Hiding Side Stand

    The side stand on my recently acquired '78 GS750 seems to be missing the tip or is it just out adjustment. I find I have to reach down and start moving it by hand. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

    I have looked on eBay for a replacement and see that some have an extension and that some do not. Or I might just have a buddy weld a piece to the end.

    Any comments?

    The pivot was worn on mine and caused a similar problem. I welded up the worn area and it fixed it. The stand should not have much play at all. If it slides on the ground a bit when you lean the bike onto it then that's a sure sign.
