Kickstand bolt hole slop

[Pilgrim]

Think I would go with the welding..Like GB allowed...fill it, grind it smooth, then drill correct bolt size.

round bushing from the hardware store that correctly fits the bolt - then cut it off thin and use it to fill the over-sized hole.  Might need to grind out the hole more, if it's not big enough.

to repeat Pete:  Pics would be helpful.

Can also weld in the hole, or have someone do it, then grind it out smooth to the right size.

Brass shim stock to fill the gap and it is skinny vinny to the rescue........

Option1 - I had a problem with the springs slipping off the lower knob and the side stand dropping down on to the road as I went round left handers.  I got a washer welded to the nipple on the end of the knob to replace the worn away material ($20), and I stopped leaning so much on left handers.

Option 2 -fill the hole completely with J.B. Weld, then drill it out to size - take care to make a good template so you can find the centre for drilling out first !

no pics yet but maybe later...gotta get her up on the operating table.

How you tackle this will depend what the damage looks like. Do you have a photo?

A temporary solution might be to find a shim / washer to slide in between the frame-lug and the  clevis to stop the prop-stand waggling about so much. If you do then give it a good greasing before you put it back together.

Ok everybody, I am back on and trying to solve a problem on Parsons Dav's 1500 Drifter:

Here's the skinny from Vinnie:  Parsons kickstand bolt hole has widened out and it causes the kickstand to slop around and that causes the spring to pop off.  This is a constant problem that we have repeatedly temp fixed by using tie-ties judiciously placed but it isn't solving the problem.

Does anybody have a permanent repair plan to fix the hole?

And does anyone know of another Kawasaki kickstand that will add lean angle to the bike to keep it from tipping over when a little high centered on the OEM stand?

I use a black Nomad stand but cant remember the )()) year.

HELP!
