    My sprint sport leans over so far on the side stand it looks like the handle bars are holding it up,the stand has a kink in it but looks original i.e. not bent,are there any stands that fit that would pick it up a couple of inches? 99 sprint sport

    Don't know of any alternatives, but I understand where you are coming from as my Trident does lean a bit more than is really necessary in my opinion. Not caused any problems though.
    Would a decent (straight!) used one be a better bet? Plenty on ebay as a rule.

    I believe that a side stand from any of the early T300 models will do i.e. 750/900 Tridents, 900/1200 Trophies and 750/900/1000/1200 Daytonas, plus (possibly!) the Thunderbirds of that era. Not too sure about the 900 Tiger though!

    As promised I got me tape measure out today:-
    bottom of foot to the bend is approx. 13cm
    bend to top of stand is approx. 14cm.
    I actually have about 7cm of wood under the sidestand when it is parked up at home which makes it easier to get my svelt (WHAT?:p) body through the door.
    Just make sure that the bracket that the stand is attached to is tight, to prevent too much lean. A couple of mms slack at the crankcase bolts translates to lots of mms movement at the bottom of the stand. Don't ask!!!:oops:

    Took pictures of my bike on its side stand today. Hopefully will have time to upload (download??) them tomorrow. It may (not!) help.:)

    Enjoy!

    Please note the last image is of a duck and is of no relevance to this thread in any way, shape or form. It is, however, a nice duck!:cool:

    If it were plucked, the close proximity to the exhaust would cause it to be cooked gently whilst the bike is being ridden. Okay, so you'd have to stop every so often to turn the bird around for even cooking to be achieved, but what a convenient way of preparing a tasty meal.:)
    Race you to the patents office DD!:p:D

    With apologies to all vegans, vegetarians, ornithologists and twitchers everywhere!:eek::rolleyes:

    Yes we really are quackers!!:p
    Sorry ... those voices in my head were too insistant - yet again!:eek::D

    Bloody hell, Bogg! You're as daft as I am. I blame DD for encouraging me!!:cool:
    Your bike's angle of dangle does seem very similar to that of my bike.:)
