HVCcycle Kick Stand Relocation Kit

HVCcycle has been battling the problem of modifying the side stands on the RDs when aftermarket pipes are installed.  Since we now sell our own line of exhaust systems, we did not want to leave our customers scratching their heads trying to figure out a way to allow the side stand to fit with expansion chambers.  So we sat down and came up with a solution that will be easy to install, maintain our high quality standards, and most importantly WORK.

Our kit accomplishes two things.  It allows the stock side stand to be used with aftermarket exhaust and it takes out that terrible lean angle of the bike when it is resting on the side stand.

This kit will work with any after market exhaust using your existing side stand on the following motorcycles:

Yamaha DS7/R5
Yamaha RD250/RD350
Yamaha RD400
Yamaha RD400F

Kit includes:

  • Our steel bracket that has black oxide coating to prevent rusting
  • A longer spring that is designed and manufactured just for this kit
  • Hardware and a drill bit

Installation of the side stand kit will require the basic hand tools, a drill and either a pair of vice grips or a spring installation tool (recommended).

Example of the Spring hook re-welded to the outside of the kick stand. The spring bolt is also installed so the nuts are on top.

Customer Review

I wanted to let you know that I just installed your kickstand relocation kit on my 1978 Yamaha RD 400.

It is perfect!

I have expansion chambers that I installed years ago.  The kickstand has always rubbed and hung low.  Now the kickstand folds perfectly and misses the chambers by less than 1/2 an inch.  It looks like a factory job.  I can't wait to take a fast sweeper to the left and NOT have the kickstand drag the ground.

Thanks!
