Kick stand bolt broke

[Fock347]

i just find it funny that the kick stand bolt goes from about 1/2 inch thickness to little 1/4 inch threads ,(thats what broke the threads snaped off) this happen to anyone??. i dont think buell's were meant to be turned around on the kick stand either.

what year is your bike?

and no, actually no bike is meant to be turned around on the kick-stand.

its an 04

the new ones are tougher, but still not ment to turn your bike around

 

[Fock347]

ya but its sooo much easier to turn around tho lol, i think buell spent toomuch time on the frame n swingarm, and brake rotor system, n not enough time on the simple shit

i agree its alot easier but i broke the flange off the frame on a jap bike doing that. its definetly not good on them. seeing how buells dont have a center stand i just stopped doing it.
