OK - I know this question has been asked a billion times, but what is the best fix for the ill-conceived excuse for a sidestand that Ducati have, in their infinte wisdom, seen fit to fit(!) to their earlier bikes?
I have a 98 Monster Dark & I am frankly getting a bit cheesed off with it (the stand only - the bike is great:D ). It's the "rolling it off the paddock stand and oh my god I've got to stop it falling over now" bit that has my heart in my mouth every time
:eek: (I use a bungy to lock the stand out, but that's a bit tiresome in the 21st century).
I have read somewhere about hacksawing the head of the allen bolt (but may be wrong?), or does Spares geezer have anything to offer in this line?
Cheers
James
