Shorten a kickstand > Welder needed

[illenium]

My SM wheels should be in tomorrow, i'll use them for longer
trips (Ocean City .) but i need the kickstand shortened, i've
already ordered a used one.

Does someone in here have the equipment needed to cut the old
one by about 2 inches and weld the plate back on?

If so please let me know

Too bad Al isn't here anymore. He shortened the kickstand for my DR. A pretty darn professional job too. All for no cost. I think I bought him lunch maybe.

What do you have for a dualsport/motard?

+1 on Racer Al - for a few beers and some pizza he extended the side stand on my KLR and the center stand - top notch job.

Your welcome to repair at my place, or i can do or help. not sure if this weekend will be good might have to be next week sometime.

Yeah, I miss you guys, too!

I need to put a sign up in my shop on torn, dirty cardboard, written in scratchy magic marker "will work for food".

If you want to mail or fedex stuff, I'm still happy to do it, although I still need to locate a local vendor for shielding gas.

You'd be without your kickstand for a week or so, however.

@bucho > an 07 KLX250 i bought new last year at Pete's

@hara > sounds good, i have to wait for the new kickstand
though, the seller from ebay takes alot of time to send my little package

i bought the wheels from craigslist seattle and had 'em shipped to me, i didn't
know the guy included his old kickstand, but its a rather poor job, the paint
is all over your hand when you touch it and they cut it in an unexplainable
way and welded it back together, doesnt seem save


@all thanks for quick reply... hope to see some of you on the road this year

If you are still interested in someone to shorten your kickstand, I used Automotive Parts and Machine at 900 E. Patrick St., Frederick, 301-663-8866. I was happy with the work, and I am still using it 2 years later so it is holding up fine.
