How do I keep this from rubbin.... ( no..it's not a dirty as it sounds )
« on: July 31, 2009, 07:23:05 AM »
'74 cb550.

I don't remember the kick stand rubbing the chain before I removed the rear time to change the sprocket... as well as some much needed degreasing....parts come off..go back on..yadda yadda...but I sure notice it now....  did i forget to hook something up correctly...or has something come off...

yup. with the stock 4:4 pipes, that has a place to rest on.  that looks more like the centerstand than kick to me though, but thats just from memory too.

Usually aftermarket exhausts "in the day" came with some way to solve this problem, just a steel bar that bolts into one of the original exhaust mounting bolts. This part naturally gets lost over the years but you should be able to make something pretty easil. Check on the opposite side from the chain, the stand probabl;y passes close to a bracket with a bolt hole. Just get some steel bar and bolt it on. Adding a rubber pad is nice too, cuts down the clunking over bumps.
