    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How standard are kickstands

I was wondering how standard are the kickstand designs across the GS lineup? I ask this because one of my friends bought an '82 750 (mine is a '78 550) and has left it sitting in my other friend's driveway for a while. He never really liked the bike to begin with and has since moved to Jordan. That frees the bike up for free pickins but before I grab his kickstand to replace mine, would it fit on my bike?
 
I just did a quick search on Bike Bandit and found that none of the part numbers are the same. In fact, even the '78 750 stands are different from the '82 stands.

Best I could recommend is grab it and see. 8-[

Speaking of which, you kinda fell off the radar last time we talked about repairing your stand... I'm still willing to weld on a new "nub" for you if you like.

Let me know...

I know, I kinda put it off and made due with the way it is now. By the time I thought about the weld, it was too cold. As soon as it warms up, I'll stop by again.

Well, it's still 49 degrees here in Buffalo Grove. I'd say you have about an hour before it drops back into the single digits - hehe!!!

See you in the spring!
