Lawton Bushman sidestand braket

The stainless steel brackets are now ready and tested on my bike. All fits perfectly.

Mods from the Jim Bush..Thickness of plate increased from 6mm to 8mm to increase strength.

Bolts for attaching the Kawasaki side stand now included and the threaded female on the plate is 1.5mm ( a standard size ) . This means if you lose a bolt you won't have to struggle trying to obtain a special Kawasaki fine threaded bolt.

I'm off to France later this afternoon travelling by bike and boat to Picardy ( Somme ) for Remembrance... I'll be back on Wednesday so I'll reply to those of you who have enquired about the brackets. They will be ready for immediate despatch.

The picture shows a bracket fitted to my Jota 180 series 1 with original rear sets and right side gear change.

I hope the project is of some help.

cheers

joe

Will that still allow my crossover shift to work without the cutout in the plate?

Dave. : ) This is fitted to a Jota 180 series 1 bike 1980 with right side gear change..See if the guys can advise. When I'm back from France I'll chat about it. There won't be any issue in having a cut out for a crossover.

cheers

Davo...Your bike is a 3C with a crossover.?

The plate , spacer and bolt sets
I have had made are for a Jota without crossover.

If you would like a plate made with a relief for the crossover this can be done.


joe
 
Yep, has crossover and I ain't changing that. Appreciated if it can be done.
 
I can see that a sensible evolution would be a side stand that allows for either right or left gear change and removes the issue of conflict with the lowering of the mainstand.

I note that some people work around this and some remove the mainstand and then there are some who wish to mount the stand a little further back.

I can't see any reason not to alter things slightly to achieve this.

Bit of luck possibly.  Took my car into my local garage and was talking to the owner.  Turns out he did a few track days a few years ago before lunching his knee (on a car lift not on a bike), his last bike was a stripped down ZX6R. Still had most of the bits he stripped off it and, yes, he had the side stand which he's given me!  Don't know if it'll fit but a good stroke of luck there if it does.
 
I have the plates and spacers and bolt sets made and in stock. The Plate is made in 8mm stainless now an increase of 2mm in thickness for strength. The 2 Kawasaki side stand bolts are not required as I am supplying the bolts to the correct length and in a standard thread which is readily available should you ever lose one.( When I first bought a stand a couple of years back,  it had a bolt missing and it was a bit of a nuisance trying to get a suitable bolt and I ended up re-tapping and cutting a bolt to length).

It is important to note that these plates are not for bikes with a left side gear-change.  As a separate project I am looking at making a batch with the plate notched for this. Davo, I'll contact you as soon as I have had a few made.

I shall contact everyone who has asked me with  details and I will list in the for sale section once and not bump it ...

Cheers,

Joe

I spoke to Henry today about the serrated ring required for 3C and bikes with standard rider foot rests...He has asked if we can have a loan of a foot peg for a few days so that a tool can be made up.

Any wiling volunteer ? I will repay any post costs incurred by the victim ; )

cheers,

Have you got one yet Joe?  I've got a couple of the big old standard chrome jobs you could borrow (or just one, they're heavy!).

E-mail or pm if you need it.
 
I got the bracket from Joe (many thanks) and it is now mounted on my Jota. Nicely done and an easy fit event though it didn't have the cutout for left hand gear change. I just made the cutout myself.

I had another issue though. I?m using a Kawasaki zzr 1200 side stand and the bike tilts too much (risk of falling down). This may be due to longer Marzocchi suspension and thus a greater ground clearance on my bike. So I reckon the mod is designed for Cerianis...

The solution to fix the problem will be pretty straightforward. I will add a second plate which drops the side stand down about 3cm. That should do it. Besides, after that there shouldn't be any problem with center stand.
