Side stand and rear indicator to fit S4RS

[jezzamondo]

My alloy side stand has snapped and resultant topple took out rear indicator also - would love to hear from anyone with a replacement for either of these taking up space in their shed... OEM parts if possible, or in the case of the indicator I would take a complete set of the black Ducati alloy replacements from that era...

[damien666]

Is that the original that snapped or an aftermarket one?
Was it parked on a very steep slope?
Will be checking mine for stress cracks!

[Darren69]

Not black I know but genuine DP/DPM from around the right era. Any good?

Where did it break ?
I'm particularly wondering whether the pivot knuckle area is still sound.
If you don't want the old bits, is there any chance that I could have them ?
I've been looking at various options for making an extended stand, possibly even with a carbon leg, and your broken stand may be the ideal basis for experimentation without having to cut up a good one.
I'd be happy to pay postage etc.

Original, and the bike may have had a shunt from a car in the street, but certainly not on a slope. I've also been heavy handed with it from time to time, turning the bike around on the stand. Have been told it is not an isolated case though, so you would do well to check around the thinner section by the pin. See if these shots work...

Hi Utopia, See other post for image - afraid it is at the pivot knuckle!

[jezzamondo]

Darren69 I'm tempted - I'll have to have a look at how the flexible mounts and guard all fit together and come back to you- these would be good on the front for sure.

[buzzbomb]

If the stand off streetfighter would fit I've got one complete with bracket, let me know your thoughts.

Geoff.

I think I may still have the proper DPM adapter plates for the front pair.

Ah well, it was worth an ask.
Thanks for the reply anyway.

I'm not having a dig but tbh, if you've been turning the bike around on the stand then I'm not surprised that it has broken.
On my 750, with steel stand, such treatment would be likely to damage the crankcases, so I guess you could consider yourself lucky.
I don't even allow the mot guy to use the stand to raise a wheel to check its bearings.

Good point on the MOT tester. They should ask first if your happy for them to do the test that way!

On the rear indicator .. kind of...

I spotted this carbon tail, which comes with indicators.
It does have one damaged fitting though.
And it will go for a fair bit more than the current bid, I would think.
But maybe its a combo that would suit your situation ?

The MOT thingy was one of the reasons I fitted a centre stand to my M600

pics of the centre stand are on a previous post, search " M600 centre stand"

Use postimage.org. It will resize them for you as well. It's very simple and intuitive. Just upload the photo you want then copy the 'direct link'. Back here click the little yellow square -> http://s28.postimg.org/yhfpnnpt5/yellow_mountain.jpg above the text box and paste the link in the box. Job done

[Dookbob]

I will give that a go, watch this space for my next cock up.

Fantastic spot Utopia, I had one of those trays on my prev S4RS - used to get a very wet back...

[jezzamondo]

Buzzbomb, can you post a picture of it, dims or part number even? I'm not sure I know how to find out otherwise but would definitely consider trying!

[jezzamondo]

Utopia, dig away, its not recommended practice I know! Probably turned the bike in awkward situations a good couple of dozen times in 6 or so years. Haven't done it for some time prior to incident, but always figured if stand was going to go it would go most likely when first deployed - so a chance to catch it, or at home bike would simply rest against garage wall. Dear reader, if that sounds like something you do, and your stand is alloy, check your stand for cracks!

A work of art! Do you find yourself grinding it tho...?

[Dookbob]

No, I have never touched it down, but then again, I,m not exactly a spirited rider.

[Blah blah]

I (think I) have a complete set of indicators off my S2R in the shed (and a load of other standard parts if you need anything else)... it's dark at the minute, so I'll have a look tomorrow

[samieb]

Hi

I also have a set of indicators, which I changed on my S2R. They came off the front so don't have the screws or retaining washers for the rear.

Let me know if your interested?

Thanks

[utopia]

If its the slightly later, more rounded style of indicator that you're after then ...
Front and rear indicators are different .. front ones are longer (and I believe they have a slightly different "footprint" shape too, so won't match smoothly with the teatray).

incidentally, they are also "handed" left or right ... but I think this only really affects the drainage holes.

.....just to be sure.

[Darren69]

To further confuse the issue there at least 2 distinct types of those rounded 'tear drop' shape indicators. Those fitted on '05 and later bikes are slightly different to the earlier ones. Although I think externally they are physically almost identical, the lenses are not interchangeable between early and later types. since the moulded fixings are different on the lens and inside the housing. IIRC they have different codes written on the lens too. Only really a problem if you want new lenses or you don't have a complete set of the same type.
