[attachment=10255]Sorry guys I tried posting a sketch and a pic but three attempts later the bloody thing still craps itself so I give up.
The stand has to be 270mm high and I used 30mm RHS for the sides. You can get rid of the base bits if you can be bothered to work out the angles to give a pyramid style stand...I couldn't be arsed!
The top has to be 70 mm high by 94mm wide to miss all the bits and pieces under the motor and to fit up into where the factory stand will go. I ended up modding the top tube by cutting the shoulders off to miss those bloody stupid exhaust pipes...I was cursing the entire Japanese population and doubting their parenthood for while I can tell you!
The LH bolt had to be modded too. I cut the head off a 40mm long x 10mm bolt and filed four flats on it. This is inserted through the LH hole from the inside of the casting so it ends up touching the LH exhaust. The stand is then lifted into position and this side bolted up first. The other side simply uses the 25mm bolt.
Good luck to all who try this. No gaurantee implied or expressed...so if the thing collapses and your bike ends up on your head..........can I have your Yoshis???
