What to do about this kickstand..

Looks like it was left in the ground for a few years.

 

[Stangrcr1]

Since I am to lazy to just buy another one. Yeah good luck with that...

This is what I did.

and some grinding and we have this

Not too shabby..... :shrug:

Good save.

 

[davidlamb78]

definitely a good save on the kickstand, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't qualify as "lazy". way more work than buying a new one, and way cooler. this thread is making me want to get back in my garage and work on my project.

Weld it. Grind it... If your super lazy. Plasti-dip it....lol

I was going to say something similar...

I suppose since I left out a pic of the grinding, there was some doubt in the process.

Looks good to me !!!! good job on dat !!!!:thumbsup:

 

[oldfatguy]

good job on the kickstand, I was going to say to coat it with JB weld but the welding worked out much better. I have to remember that trick just in case :thumbsup:

 

[Stangrcr1]

Thanks everyone. Been a lot of hard work and issues neverending...

We have a roller! Finally rolled it out into the "sun"...

I am not digging the big black sprocket. Gotta do something with it. And of course, I can't find the new decals I have here somewhere for the enigne...

And yes, I hammered out the kicked up end of the rear fender. Didn't like how it looked.

I wonder if Rick has some of the blue fender stripe sticker material to spare...

Looks really good. :thumbsup: what are you planning for the sprocket, going to paint it white?

Yeah, probably white, or maybe blue. I do have to repaint the left handle bar white, so since I will have the gun already filled with white paint...

Might swiss cheese the sprocket first though. Sprocket is a heavy SOB.

That looks real good. You are going to love it.:thumbsup:
