Ben's 900 Monster build

[350TSS]

re the side stand - measure the post and then measure the hole in the stand itself and then go to Simply Bearings and see if they have a self lubricating bronze bush that fits the ID of the stand itself. The bush needs to be an interference fit into the stand but if you cannot get a bush that fits snugly then Loctite bearing fit would take up the slack.
As for fitting over the post you could buy the correct size drill and simply drill the bush to fit . The bearing should be less than £10 and a correct size drill half decent quality about £15

Thanks - makes me wish I had a little lathe at home

Here's a picture of one i had from a 2001 M900ie I think. Mounted on my 750SS along with a centre stand, which shows you how they fit.



I sold that to Richardduke, but I'm not sure if he sold it on or still has it?

An ST2/4 one is the same if you can find one with a straight leg, most have a wild kink in them!

Those seem stupidly pricey, but you can hunt around now you know what you're looking for.

Also found these, which is handy, as I couldn't track them down before.
