Huge problem, need help :/

[k03gsxr750]

Went riding on Sunday, got to the bottom of the mountain and put my kickstand down like normal..and was promptly mowed down by the bike. I get up thinking #$%& what was that?! I take a look at the bike and notice the kickstand is detached ?!?! on closer inspection the mount where the stand goes through the frame is sheared clean off

Anyone know of a company that could repair this? The hole that the kickstand mounts to is totally MIA; shattered in a million pieces. So my bike is currently on a rear stand at home. I would HATE to have to buy a new frame to fix this; but I am totally at a loss for what to do or who to bring this too. Pictures coming soon.

I would look to a local (reputable) welder.

More to follow when I get home tonight; thought I had some on my phone. I know, I know

Do you have any idea how this could happen?

 

[Highlander]

How about a centerstand? Yeah, I'd really miss the kickstand. I saw one on Ebay the other day for $80.

Buy a new kickstand and find a good fabricator/welder.
You and i can't envision how to fix it but a good metal worker probably will look at it and tell you no problem.

Ken, I have a friend bikebuilder in Easley, SC, he fabricates and can probably fix you right up. Call me

Do you have any idea how this could happen?

Not a clue, sequence of events went like this. Stopped the bike, kick stand down, left leg down, right leg swinging over the back...mowed down by motorcycle. I was so surprised that I didn't know what to do. I was 99% sure the stand dug into the ground..no such luck.

Good looking out Daniel

 

[k03gsxr750]

Yeah, figured I'd pull the ECU and harness for good measure, seems like an easily overlooked step. Thanks for the reminder, I've had several people mention that.

 

[k03gsxr750]

Also thanks Doug, I will call tomorrow. I'd like this to be as painless as possible, stupid luck...

that metal looks cast. you may need to look for a new location for a kick stand. something custom

 

[dk55belair]

let me know if you need help getting it there.

 

[rubbersidedown]

I would guess that bolt was over tightened at some point,hair line crack,metal fatigue did the rest.
