Installing a Longer Kickstand on the Honda CX500 Cafe Racer (FINALLY)

The last piece to the CX500 Cafe Racer puzzle was a longer kickstand to hold the bike upright. I got one at a motorcycle salvage yard near me (APF Motorcycle Salvage Yard in Fresno), and it was from a 1982 Honda XR85 dirtbike, so the mount and the spring was in the exact same position and was a direct replacement for the stock CX500 kickstand. It all worked out!

Cool looking bike. Nice work. You got really lucky to find something that worked.

When I lowered my bike, I ordered an extra kickstand from e-bay, then shortened it, and welded the foot. Now I have 2, original, and short. It's a good thing too, because I went back to not being lowered.

Oh, nice! Luckily the XR85 stand fit perfectly, same mount and right height for this one. I also have the unmodified stock one if I need it. :)
