Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Ck'd the side stand this AM and noted a lot of lateral play (2-3mm). Suspect the hole for pin/axle has worn into an oblong shape. Initially I thought adding washers would pull it away fm the pipe - think not. A spot of weld perhaps? Don't know yet.

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
you can drill and bush it as well. thin spacers (washers) will help with side to side movement.

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Great idea Jon - going to explore that this weekend. Guiliari seat hunt next.
Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
I have the same microns on my lc and when i bought the bike the spring was hitting the pipe also. I removed the stub on the stand ,shoetened it enough so it no longer hit the pipe and rewelded it to the stand .

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
2cycle curious on how short did you go? Also, do you live any where near Redline Junkie (Rob)? Also got a bro who races at Shubie.
Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
I shortened it as much as i could with still enough room for the spring hook to fit. Rob lives about 20min from me on the other side of the harbour. I go to shubie every year to watch the superbike nationals.LC Cnd wrote:2cycle curious on how short did you go? Also, do you live any where near Redline Junkie (Rob)?

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Appreciate the info 2cycle- gunna drill 1st; shim next.
Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Bare discovered something else well worn; the knife section of the hinge was worn on the lower right hand corner (5 0'clock area). Added a bit of weld to build it up & filed it flat.

Nexted I noted the holes, for the hinge, were oblong. Purchased door hinge bushings to true up the holes again ($5). The bolt was also well worn adding to the sloppy angle problem - replaced ($1). Drilled out the holes, for the bushings and punched them in. Drilled out the bushings to match the new bolt & filed the hinge knife flat to match the stand. Put it together and the stand spring nub/retainer is 4mm off the Microns. Done hopefully for the next 30 yrs Jon - if I last that long (lol).

Nice job
My side stand has a different problem. Powder coat frame + powder coat side stand = very tight and hard to move!!!

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
nice!
powedercoat is easy, just file it out or locally apply paint stripper with a small brush.

Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Thx gents. Power coating.....Powder coated the swing arm and when I put in the 1st bolt in, next 2 the rear sprocket, for the chain guard - SNAP, three 1/2 turns in. I had to remove the rad, to remove the exhaust, to remove the chain, to remove the rear wheel, to drill out the wee hole to re-tap because of power coat. Using POR 13 next (holes covered) or Tremclad paint - not perhaps as resilient as powder coat but not as frustrating either. Now off to fix those pesky twins (carbs).
Re: Kenny Roberts RD gold wheel addition (LOL)
Damn... that must be frustrating.
Also why Powdercoating is widely viewed with Distaste.
Sadly a typical Newbie affectation.
A rattle can of Appliance Epoxy (that's what the silly label says) looks identical to oem Yama cheap ass paint, but far more durable
EASILY works /looks better than Powdercoating.
Bit late now though.

Not late for the kick stand.
