modifying sidestand frame bracket ...

Well, fitted a k2 gsxr stand today, perfect.
Just the leg, drill out the leg mounting hole to accept aprilia bolt, drill the small hole beside that for the switch, a bawhair higher though as the leg doesn't go as far up when folded in.
Screw it all back together and pat yourself on the back, much much more stable and leans over perfectly.

Problem, the spring mount is higher on that leg so not enough tension to hold it either way.

Yep - a quick re-weld

Don't have a welder mate, my mate does but I rarely ask folk for favours... Trying to think of bikes with shorter springs....

When I did mine I didn't have a "tame" welder - took it to the local car repair garage.

You mean..... Pay for something?.... I'm not sure I know how that works. Hahaha. I'll see my mate first for what springs he has kicking about (runs local motorcycle training school). I'm always looking for the cheap option.
Ma other mate runs a garage... But its the favour asking problem...
