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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Too many vibes?

Rocko, here´s a pic of my old SMS630 stand. I´ve now got Ken´s custom stand on my bike and won´t be re-installing the original stand. At first I thought that gripes about the Husky side stand were a bit exaggerated. But after falling off a few times and tipping the bike over because I was carrying a heavy load, I realized that I needed a stand that would let me kick it down while I was still on the bike to get off.

My original stand is stamped H0234 and you can have it if you want (not the springs as I am using them on Ken´s stand). PM me.

Here is a shot of mine still on the bike. Same part number as above and no nut on the backside. The bolt that holds it on is just short of being flush with the backside of the stand. Let me know if this helps.

Thank you organ donor and tool46n2 for your pictures!

So looking at the pictures I see a difference now. It looks like the part number on your two stands are stamped in and the one on my replacement part is raised!

I also looked at the drawing where they order the parts from an noticed something else:

frame cutout.jpg

you can see that on this drawing there is a cutout on the frame with end stops where the kickstand would swing up and down. My frame does not have this cutout therefore the part that was ordered is too short! At least now I know what I need!

Hope nobody else's kickstand falls off this has been a pain and my bike has been leaned against the wall in my garage for a LOOONG time!

Thanks for taking the picture! Can you measure the distance labeled as "??" in this picture? That will tell me if yours is the correct part.

Think I can now understand what the problem is. For some reason, it looks as if the sidestand stop on the frame is missing on your bike. If that is so, the best alternative would be to fit Ken´s sidestand as it comes with its own stop-plate that also optimizes the angle of the bike on the stand.
