So I bought a 250 a while back (310 kit on it) and the kickstand didn't work as it was too short, had to shim it. I had an extension welded in it twice but the weld never held when the bike was ideling so I gave up (snapped at the weld). Bought a used kickstand from bills (stock), and I put it on and it's way too long, as in the bike tips the other way. What does this mean, not stock linkage from previous owner? He was short, which is why he tried that short kickstand. Could it be shock settings and not linkage? If it is linkage where do I find a stock one/ what would it cost me? Thanks!!

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

"it's way too long, as in the bike tips the other way"
Mine did this off the showroom floor. After messing with the factory unit, then a drz kickstand with homemade bracket, finally settled on a promoto stand with homemade bracket. Added a stop to the leg to keep it from jamming into the muffler. This works.
