Adventure Bike Rider Forum

The dog bones have been changed so lowered bike but doing this means you cant get it on the centre stand and very little lean on the side stand, will the stands on the S model fit, have anybody on here done it have asked this on other sites so you might have seen this before, going to the wanted or for sale section now to see if anybody got these for sale, any advice please

Haven't looked, but have asked the question on here:-

I do believe that the S version does indeed fit the X, though more knowledgble people on the above site are a better source of info than me

You could try looking at bike breakers for a 2nd hand item - fleabay is as good a place as any to start as breakers seem to love that place . . . as do scumbags selling off bits from theived bikes.

thanks for the post Steve have posted on there mate

pretty sure the S sidestand is shorter, as the X has 1" longer forks.
Apart from the fairings (and fork lengths) they are identical.
All the NCs are difficult to get onto the centre-stand.
.. there is a knack to it, or simply park in a slight hollow.
its better to be a bit shorter in the sidestand than longer, for parking, as you will find a higher spot easier than a lower spot. (eg. petrol station)
There is also the Forza 750 which has some different parts (eg. swingarm is longer).
The NC forums will probably give you actual sidestand lengths ... they're pretty good like that.

according to the above link .. the S sidestand is 1" shorter than the X sidestand.
.. but another member just used the oem sidestand from the X after lowering the rear by an inch.

thanks for the post Gary, have been on owners web site been trying to find somebody who has done this, yes the knack mate seem to have had for the last 53 years putting bike on the centre stand
