Have I bent my side stand ? Gen1 Hayabusa

[Tankbag]

Need advice please, I think I've bent my side stand strapping it down on a trailer, but I can't remember if it was this slightly bent shape before. It does seem more lent over on the stand now. Thanks in advance folks

This one on ebay looks even more bent.

Crikey ! I feel sort of better but it tells me they bend, I think to avoid a potentially large bill I'll fit a new one

Suzuki metal (or plastics) have never been known for their quality.

I'd get an aftermarket one if possible!

I think you have bent it a little bit perhaps .

if your bending stands you are strapping too hard and risking buggering your fork seals/suspension .

I'm not so sure it is bent you know, the lettering isn't distorted.

You don't need to buy a new none anyway, you could restomod the shit out of it with a bit of old angle from the scrappy and some silicone sealant.

I never leave the stand down when on a trailer, once the bars are fixed it can't fall then take the stand up and carry on strapping

From the pic I'd actually say the stand isn't bent but closer inspection looks that the metal bracket the stand connects to might be slightly bent

pivot bolt is bent or the pivot plate have distorted

also see if this old 'must do ' mod has not caused any issues ...
