Monster 600/750/900 side stand mod.

larsen · 07-06-2019, 11:56 AM

The side stand instant flip up is a worry. I'm used to manual stands but this is tricky to put down and so easy to accidentally roll off. I share my garage with the kids and it's only a matter of time before the bike ends up on it's side. I'm not into grinding the bolt head to fix the issue but believe there was a differently profiled "c" plate that did the trick. I've not been able to locate one on the web. Can anyone tell me where I can buy one or failing that does anyone have a template so I can have one made. Thanks.

Something like one of these?

Not sure which one you will need but same seller for both so they will likely know which.

Received in post, fitted, easy. With the dash light to remind me all should be well, and the kids can be let loose in the garage again. As an added benefit it makes using a rear paddock stand a lot less stressful.
