• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Side stand for 2008 TE610

Well, my side-stand finally snap off on my 08 TE610.

I read that a 630 side stand will fit it and it is better. So I was wondering if that is true and if there is better aftermarket one out there for it.

Thanks

Rick
 
My bike has a Ken Webb side stand. He may have more or the member that built them for him. If you would like to see it or try and replicate (if out of production) I am in Vancouver. I added the chain link to make it easier to catch a toe on.DSCF6360 (800x600).jpg

My sympathies. I have a 2008 as well and bent my sidestand when it slipped on dirt and the bike blew over. I had a new foot welded on and its better - but not as good as Kens design. I contacted Ken a few months ago and he had no 610 stands left - he suggested getting a 630 stand and have it lengthened at a welder. But if a few of us got together perhaps Ken would make a new batch?

The last 630 stand just sold on Ebay this week so that boat has shipped also. I bid on it just to have a spare and because it was auctioning for so cheap. Went for only $50, if I wouldn't have bid the buyer would have got it for only $33 including shipping.

Thanks Guys.

The Ken Webb design is the Cat's Pajamas.

I just ordered a new 610 side stand and I am going to see if the old one can by fixed and lengthened 2 1/2 inches. Than I will mod the new one.

But I would still buy a Ken Webb side stand.
 
The 610 stand that broke can be fixed and reinforced. I'm still running my modified 610 stand, and it was the prototype for the "production" stands. If you look up my original thread you can see how I split a tube and welded it on to reinforce the weak point. For my prototype, I welded on a stop plate. However, I have a batch of raw stop plates that could be used on any 610 stand that has the same foot peg bolt pattern as the late model 610/630 bikes. It may or may not match up with the early steel 610 stand, but it is worth a try.

No plans to make any more stands.

Add me to the interested list if that will help sway the balance!
 
I made my own:

It has been through a couple iterations. First made it long as the original OEM stand was too short allowing the bike to lean too far over. Then had LTR modify and lower the suspension about an inch so had to shorten it. It just seems sturdier than the original stand plus has a larger foot print.

Did you have to modify the angle to allow passing the swingarm? Or cutting it and welding a plate was enough?

No, the angle is the same as the original. After I had the suspension lowered I cut the foot off, then about 3/4 - 1" off the lower end and welded the foot back on. I made the kickstand tighter on the frame bracket which helps make it more stable than the OEM stand.

Thanks for the tip. What about your bike. Is it a 610 or a 630?
 
I put an SM630 stand on my SM610. It's the perfect height (almost too long if loaded for touring and I forget to crank up my spring) but it's a little "floppy" on the pivot tab if you don't put a couple of machine bushings in it.
