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

[Wellyman]

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.

There is some very strange rules in ISDE. I wonder if there will be any 2WD bikes in this one, 2wd dirtbikes have been very successful so far.

Example?

2wd dirtbikes have been very successful so far.

In the ISDE? Or generally?

"Homologated" is just another way of saying "as defined"
The 2006 ISDE Regulations in regard to sidestands say:

"061.42.2
Each motorcycle in the Parc Fermé must be equipped with a side-stand in order
to guarantee its stability (see Article 26.01 of the Enduro Technical Rules).

The stand must be part of the motorcycle chassis as homologated. In the
absence of this stand, access to the Parc Fermé will not be authorised. "

And Article 26.01 of the 2006 Enduro Technical Rules says:

"26.01
Every motorcycle in the ‘parc-fermé’ must be equipped with a side-stand. The
side-stand must be fitted, either on the frame or on the swing arm. "

So in other words you must fit one to your bike and it doesnt matter how you do it as long as it works, is placed on the frame or swingarm and passes the technical inspection prior to the event.

If you want to get an idea about what is required to get a MX bike ISDE ready then check out the May edition of KIWIRIDER and read the article about Michael Phillips KX250.

That ain't a great bike, rember back to Chris Birchs days with Kawasaki and his KX250's they were a great enduro bike in my opinion.

your very picky there chris. I said, well I mean't I didn't like the KX250 featured in KR, I liked Chris Birch's old KX250's better in my own opinion.

Picky?? Just wanted you to clarify your contradiction.

I would also be keen to know why you think the featured KX250 isn't any good?

[cheese]

So, my stand, can anyone score me one and weld it up?

The guy is a genius so almost certainly. He does tend to have a long waiting list though....

No offence to KR chris the bike was good, but I thought it would be a bit more modified then it was as the bike was being built for Phillips. just my opinion anyways.

Well, we didn't build it, we just featured the bike in a tech article so no reason for us to be offended.

You said yourself that the rules are strange for ISDE. The technical regs are likely to allow only certain modifications.

long like a month or weeks?
