WTB: "Learning your kickstand sucks" parts needed

[reebis]

Just picked my '07 xb12stt up on friday. Going for a ride with my brother tonight and backed the bike out of the garage, ran back in to grab my helmet, turned back around only to see it falling over

Now I need some parts:
-clutch lever
-left rider peg
-left front blinker
-shift pedal

PM if you have any of this around.

Thanks,

-bob

What you don't find on here, you can get from a dealer (hopefully), Ebay, and BuellsterParts.com. Heard good things from Buellster and they seem reasonable.

hmmm I might be changing my turn signals in the next week or so if I can find some replacements I like... If I do you are welcome to my stocks if you will cover shipping

I just swapped out all of my lights for LED's... anyone know if the '04 Firebolt signals are the same as what Reebis needs?

If they are Reebis... I'll send ya one for the cost of shipping...

I have all of these, except for the blinker.

$40 shipped for the footpeg, shifter peg, and clutch lever with a new bolt. (Clutch lever was only on the bike for about 500miles)

Did your kickstand break, or did it just fail to keep the bike upright?

Thanks guys!

Yeah, the kickstand just wasn't all the way out. The previous owner warned me about it. Now I know to check everytime

keagle, from looking at some pics of the '04 Firebolt's, I think they are the same as my '07. Shipping would be to 60563. Email me with the shipping quote @ reebis(dot)dillon(at)gmail(dot)com

Sprinter, I emailed you.

Turn signals are different from a S to a R but in a good way. They won't stuck out a foot like the stock ones.

They fit just fine but look much better, go for the bolt signals an you will be much happier.

I think I have two of them that are salvageable... I'll check the shipping cost and let you know Reebis..


I would also encourage you to look at (and maybe post a pic or two) of the kickstand. After they revised the kickstand in '05 or '06, they haven't been a source of issues anymore that I'm aware of. I had beaucoup problems with my stand on my '04 at first but since getting it correctly updated to the newer stand, it works beautifully...

I have always rolled my bike backwards after setting it on the kick stand. This will ensure that the stand is locked it. It works the same on every bike Ive had from a 68 pan all the way up to my 08 bolt. Even on the few japs Ive owned. Just something you may want to get in the habbit of when putting the bike on the stand. Also Ive had good luck with turning the bars to the left. Makes it very difficult for the bike to fall then. Take it or leave it just enjoy the hell out of it and always ride safe. Congrats on the new pick up anyway.
