Is it possible to fit a stand to my MX bike?

[cheese]

I've got my RM 250 and after I've spent all this money on it and got it going mint, I'm keeping it unless i get a new bike (the wife is slooooowly warming to the idea)

So I have having to lean it against trees all the time, Can you get a stand to fit on them? I'm not a mad MX jumper/pilot, so I think it's safe about not flicking down.

Any options for me?

Yes it is possible ,many companies make after-market side stands that fit motocross or trail bikes. I can probaly sort you out with a brand new one if you are intrested. send me a PM with your bike details etc and we can sort something out for you.

Sure can.
Go to a wreckers and find a (dirt) bike with a frame mounted side stand.
Steel would be best.
Get them to cut it off and weld it to your frame.
You may have alter the length to suit your bike.
Or if they will only sell the leg part and spring, take a pic of it or a cardboard copy.
And then make one, you may have to make the mounting bracket any way to mount the stand out of the way and where you want it.
It should only cost a few dollars and some time compered to buying one.

Not at teh moment, but I still want to do it. ANyone got a welder?

[laRIKin]

Yep I have, but I'm a bit far away to be of any real help.

If you get the stand already for someone to weld and book it in with a work shop they may do it while you wait, should not cost to much.
We would do it, if it was just a quick weld for about $20 I think.

For the ISDE the sidestands have to be homologated so no tacking one on yourself.
IT'S JUST TO STOP THE BIKE FROM FALLING OVER YOU.. YOU...

Just one of the reasons my brother decided to not ride and is looking at a dirtbike tour in Cambodia instead.
