KZ Kickstand length - All the same? was created by SvelteSoutherner
My KZ440B w/ a 16 rear wheel started life quite short. After adding an 18" rear from a KZ550 and adding shocks off a Thruxton, the kickstand is decidedly too short. Are there longer stands that will swap onto my standard mount?

Yes, I used an 1100 stand on my 750 when I lifted the back end. About an inch longer.

Be really careful to get your spring(s) right - I nearly got killed due to a dodgy stand spring.

Excellent. Yes. I remember a few unsavory words were said getting the spring back on after I repainted the frame.
