2012 -- Bent Kickstand Bolt AGAIN

[StuJohnson]

Seriously.... Am I the only one who hates the kickstand design on my bike???

I so want to take a torch and just cut and rip the SON OF A B$%^ off

Sure a lot of you say just get rid of it. Maybe I will. It really does not work for me. But there are so many times it comes in handy too.

I keep looking at all the other bikes kickstand designs. Like the promoto one for KX450 that is integrated into the foot peg mounts (thanks Desertgasser for that one). And the KTM ones are nice too.

I know this had been discussed a lot on here. But any others have good ways to keep the damn Grade 8 bolt from bending?

I am so tempted to modify my foot pegs mounts like the KX450. But that require quite a bit of work to the frame and if not done properly then would be a huge mistake....
