    1100EZ side stand

    Not sure where to post this.

    For some reason, at a stop sign a little while ago I glanced down to see where the side stand rested. I was more than a little upset to see that the side stand stop appeared to be the shift linkage.

    When I got home and put her on the paddock stand, I was relieved to see that the side stand, when up, just barely misses the shift linkage. It also comes to a rest just shy of the foot peg.

    What I can't see is what is stopping the side stand (from going farther up and contacting the foot peg and shift linkage). Does mine look any different from stock?

    Of course I'm missing the center stand (which I don't miss). PO told me this bike didn't come with one.

      Looking at parts fische;
      Relative to the sidestand, I don't see anything missing.
      But, ah, relative to the centerstand ......

          Yes, your bike did have a center stand. PO probably ditched it.

              There's nothing missing with your side stand; the tab limits how much it travels - nothing else.

                  How do you check oil level w/o center stand?

                      I have a rear "paddock" stand. Although I was skeptical when PO told me "this bike doesn't have one", I'm rather glad it's missing. It's got to be a big chunk of weight, and I feel more like I'm riding a sport bike.

                                  Did seat strap have brass or heavy steel grommets?
