Jota Side Stand

[Shiny]

My Jota (1979 180) has no side stand, should it have one?
I am considering purchasing a complete kit from a guy on Facebook Marketplace. His name is Grant Duguid, is he a club member, has anyone purchased this kit and is it a good buy at £210 plus postage? Your guidance would be much appreciated.

You can get them direct from Alumacraft. Out of stock, currently, but I'm sure they'll be making more.
Specify Ceriani or Marzocchi forks.

One of the best useable upgrades you can make in my opinion, a few complete kits available as Hamish has mentioned or make up from parts using bracket spacers bolts and side stand ex kawasaki,use the search function and read lots of historical posts on the topic.....you certainly won.t regret it.

Actually, no.

AfaIk, available only as a factory/dealer option for the 180° 1000 triples, can't recall them being fitted as standard equipment. Standard issue for the 1200s though.

The kits available today were originally devised by Jim(?) Bushman to replace the poorly designed Breganze afterthought, they've been on offer by Grant and others for several years now. These are totally different to the factory items and actually work as intended. They do have other drawbacks though...

Grant was a well-respected forum member, until he was truely pissed off by the questionable behavior of other members.
