In have just bought a nice looking 650SS advertised in our website. I bought a side stand for it but where does it fit? There is a side stand shown on Andover Norton's website, so I guess it should fit.
I guess it is meant to fit before the CENTRE STAND on the near side lower frame rails but the only position it has a chance of fitting is right up near the lower engine mount which is obviously wrong or way back.
Thanks for your help. Roger

RGM sell the Featherbed side…
RGM sell the Featherbed side stand. Their website gives detailed fitting instructions. They can need a bit of fettling because of different spacings between engine, plates and frame tube. I had to shim mine ( n.o.s. item) after it was fitted.

To fit the side stand its usual to remove all the primary side ,clutch/ alternator ,sprocket. inner chaincase and the sidestand fits tight to the engine plates as far forward as it will go. It wont slide into this position as it fouls the centerstand stop reinforcing plates under the frame tubes . It is sometimes necessary to file clearance for the chaincase outer cover where it can hit the stand mount.
