I'm not sure mine is mounted where it is supposed to be, but I can tell you that it is welded to the frame, just inside the exhaust and that it has cracked around the weld. I'm planning on taking it to a welder that has built bikes all his life, to repair the frame. I'm just wondering if anyone can post a photo or two of how their side stand mounts to the frame? It would be a big help to me! Thanks!

here's 7 photos of a 1980 kz550A1 sidestand:

i hope there's something there that helps

Duncan, those are excellent! Thanks for the effort you went to for me. I really appreciate it! I printed several of them to have when we get to start cutting and welding. Thanks again buddy!
