Burkhart Adjustable Kickstand

tlhamon · June 6th, 2009, 08:39 AM

After breaking off the screw on the safety switch and then running a drill bit through my thumb, I got the kickstand on. Looks good and gives me the proper lean after lowering my bike. Also put the Area P rear footpeg eliminator on, but you can't see it from this side.

can you get a closer pic of the stand? How much is it adjustable?

Russian Ninjette, I like it

You keep mentioning a screw, thought the sw was held on by a bolt?

nice looking bike! makes me want to get a red one now..haha

Here is the picture from the auction. It will adjust all the way from stock down 2.5 or so inches from there. Huge amount of adjustment.

Yes, I called it a screw, but technically it is a philips head bolt that is apparently made of aluminum or pasta. Didn't take any force to twist the head off of it.

well i don't feel like such an idiot now that i'm not the only one who broke off that screw...well technically it was my dad who broke it.

wait.
is it neccessary to change the kick stand if the bike is lowered?

Depends how lowered, but if the bike is sitting almost straight up and down while it's on the kickstand, shortening the kickstand allows it to lean over enough to be stable once again when it's on the stand.

I dropped it an inch and it was fine, but I tried parking on a street that had a really big crown, and the bike barely stayed up. I put the new kickstand on just to make sure. Plus, the more I look at it, the cooler it is.
