My xt was lowered by the previous owner which included a shorter side stand to match. I have now raised the bike back up to its sta dare height but with the shorter side stand it's leaning to far left.

What I need to know is can somebody tell me the length of the original standard side stand. I need to replace the shorter one.

Same size as R I believe..just measured mine 32cm

Even better..its complete (I asked)

For me, that issue would be an excuse to get the welder out and make an adjustable one with a sliding tube as an outer sleeve and then have a pin and R-pin arrangement to pass through two or three holes in the stand leg, a bit like an adjustable hospital crutch. But the above ebay item is way less hassle.

Yeah I don't have the tools for that.

When measuring where are people measuring from. Bottom of stand to the top or bottom to centre of the top bolt
