I'm sure the part works well. If it was CNC milled or the hole even broached, it's more precision than the OEM and most aftermarket ones as they look to be die stamped with poor fit..

I've repaired a couple since the fit of the part on the side stand had worked loose. My driveway points downhill and I have to park the bike to open the gate. I can see where some might be concerned when the cycle rocks forward. One was my 07 egc with about 100000 miles on it. The other was my 65 Pan. This locking mech has been around for probably 90 years, It was really necessary when you had to kickstart the bike and hasn't changed that much.

One of the concerns I have when fixing the nub is that the arm don't go too far forward. You don't want it to lock if you inadvertently leave the side stand down. That might turn the side stand into a pole-vault and that the one that gives me the stomach drop. I've done it. A buddy did it the last time I rode with him.

TC. Mine was wallowed out pretty good so the bushing dam near pushed right in easily so I def dont have an issue with it being too tight. It did take up most of the play I had and seems to work well.

Could just be you need to polish up the shaft a bit with some fine sand paper or emery cloth then a thin layer of marine grease

 

The round one has been banned 3 times before this, how many strikes do you get?

I suspect failure to lube at all causes most of the difficulties. I have never tried marine grease, brake grease seems to do a good job and lasts a long time.

 

If it was a for sale post it should have been in the classified or vendors section.
Didn`t know you were a moderator...

 

Yeah I didn't realize it was an advertisement either.
In the touring forum with the subject "Stomach drop?"?
I see now the small text "sponsor".
He was treated that way because everyone's treated that way on here. When you make a declaration about how great something is over something else the people that don't think it's so great or that the something else is indeed better are going to slam you.
I get slamed when I point out something I like or dislike by the people that feel the opposite.
Most advertisements don't have a way you can respond to it. They asked for responces in an open forum.
If I had known it was just an advertisement I would have ignored it.
Sorry I suggested an alternate product that I liked.

 

while i agree that it should have been in the for sale section, and no i'm not a moderator just a rider in this game we call life

 

Does it fit my 21?
