I know Wozza was just kidding, but please don't hack off the side-stand mount with a blunt instrument. Someone in the future may put it back on the road and fixing that kind of thing takes a lot of work. Please just unbolt the kickstand. Thank you for your cooperation.

Thanks, but I didn't do the tig welding (my mig does not come out that pretty). My buddy has an architectural fabrication business so i let him do the melting. I just do all the cutting, grinding, and prep so he can just lay down the bead.

I had a few really old threads here, but a lot of the photos are probably gone.
