Hi, I've never posted before but here goes. I have a 99RT and my question is... is there a fix for the totaly inadaquate side stand. I've only owned this bike a few weeks and the side stand scares me. please feel free to e-mail me at snapgadget@ftc-i.net $$$ not an issue thanks Kenny...

Try this. Many aftermarket suppliers sell them. This one is from
www.bmwsantacruz.com for $40.00. Look in the ON for other sources.

I took apart an old computer hard drive and use the top as my parking puck. I tied a string through one of the holes so I can lift it up and take it with me. That little add on part will likely be more effective from the ease of deployment aspect.

thanks, I have several parking pucks, pads, etc. I would like one thats attached. I don't want to have to store it, then put it in place, then ride off and leave it. I'm thinking about removing the stand and welding a pad to the bottom. I don't have this problem on my Harley. they build a great sidestand. thanks again for your input. Kenny...:bolt
