Post subject: | Side Stand Missing!!!!!!!!! |
Got to work last night,tried to put the stand down and nothing there ![]() After trying to find a good place to lean against (the bike not me) and alot of swearing got home and straight on the net.Found out their is a recall for 05 models so on the phone to local stealer,sorry sir but yours is an 04,but shouldn't it be the same part I pleaded,you will have to buy one sir.So do you think I would get anywhere by writing to buell U.K. and asking why they made their side stand pin out of cheese and why is their not a recall on all XB's or should I just keep my mouth shut and fork out for a new one.So people please make looking at the side stand pin part of your mantainance checks,would hate to see any buell go over.Still love my buell anyway, even though I am for eva fixing something and as a great man once said "firebolts are the future" ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

1. Retrace your steps and find your stand... 2. Put your VIN in here: https://www.harley-davidson.com/EX/MNT/ ... cale=en_US |

I've got one for sale that was fitted to an '07 XB12R if that's any good to you? Ten squids plus P & P at cost price. Send me a PM if interested, I'm located in sunny Macclesfield. Cheers Pat |

I've got the stand off your bike and it's going to cost you £500 to get back. That's beacuse it's sticking out of my windscreen. ![]() |

It's easy enough to drill out the threaded part and use a pin and circlip (as the upgrade did, but they supplied a new stand) It's a silly idea using a bolt in shear like that. |

The only future that I can see for my one is the scrap heap in 10 to 15 years time but will have fun on it all the way there ![]() |
