hi guys new to the forum, but been reading for a little while.

my question is. i just bought a 1980 cx500 custom. but the steel loop that comes of the kick stand has been brocken off.

does anyone know the length of this steel from the kick stand? i have stripped the bike down for a rebuild so i cant measure it.

any help much appreciated.

cheers matt

hi matt,and a warm welcome from spain.spend a few minutes to update your avitar and signiture line....include your bikes details,and your location in the world.



to answer your question..mine protrudes horizontally 120 mm.when stand in up position,the steel is 50mm apart where its welded,running down to 20mm,at the toe grab
