Got fed up of that will it won't it feeling as you put the sidestand down on soft ground so looked at the bolt on type camel toe extensions on the market. I wasn't willing to pay that sort of money so raided a skip for some steel sheet and cut out a new base for the sidestand.
Cost:
�4 for some paint and a bar of chocolate for the welder (workmate).

Nice!

Do you know if the material of the sidestand is easy to weld?

No problems at all - its actually a really sturdy stand - 'good' steel.

Nice work that man

Hope you've got some spare plate from your skip diving, as I think "Yer man" might be wanting that done to his when he see's yours.

Could you just confirm for me which electronic / electrical bits you dis-connected before that foot was welded on (assuming that it was done on the bike).

Well done again on a top job - now, pass on the name of that welder that works for chocolate

Yer man paid for the bolt on thingy, no imagination!
Aye job done off the bike, and plenty of plate left in the skip if you fancy it.
So come on is it a ten or not?
Just to add to yer mans invitation - fancy a run?
