Kickstand help
 

I was wondering if I could convince one of ya guys to measure your kickstand . I have a 03 ec300 and refuse to pay the high prices for a simple piece of steel and a spring.
Thanks

I can this weekend if some one else cannot today.. as a bit of info, i have an 08 cast one on my 01 which was a round steel one , using the 01 mount and it works great...

On my '06 it is 410mm (quick measure) and in my opinion it stands the bike up to straight. You can take it from there

Thanks all. One last question is the stand strait? or does it have a bend to it?

08 stand.... pretty much straight.. this one actually works pretty good

01 stand... folds up like a cheap lawn chair... bent more at the top..

Thanks for the pics!There probably isnt a another gasgas within 100 or so miles from me.

you bet.. on the bolt, there is a sleeve just longer than the width of the stand so it pivots ok and the mount does not pinch the stand..

as fred said, i think they stand the bike up to much. the 01 stand i hardly ever trusted. the 08 seems to be more stable..
