I purchased a side stand from a guy on ebay and realized once I received it that I do not have a side stand bracket to mount it on.  do the 1979 models not come with a side stand or has mine just been removed? Also, is there oil through the bottom tube of the frame where the bracket would go? Can i just mount something to that tube and/or drill through it? Any suggestions on the best way to mount it? My center stand is just too cumbersome for quick "errands" around town |

Hallo Cordoder,
all the sr have sidestandsbrackets,
there is no oil in the lefthanddowntube, the original bracket is a piece of cast steel welded on to the downtube. if you want, can send you a pic

i've seen this pic from the parts manual that I assumed to be it. Unfortunatley, mine has nothing like it on the side of my bike. I can't imagine why someone would have removed it...  i would provide pics of my own bike, but unfortunately, my memory stick failed and am waiting delivery of my new one. |

That's weird. I can't imagine why someone would cut off the sidestand bracket.

That's weird. I can't imagine why someone would cut off the sidestand bracket. the only reason i could think of would be maybe racing and didn't want it hanging off the side? who knows... Is there anywhere I can find a detailed specification of the bracket and where exactly it fits on the frame? I would like to have one welded on and I need to know exactly what to tell the welder... Thanks for the help. |

cordodor AT wsu DOT edu is my address...
Can you also send dimensions of the bracket, where the holes are and the distance from distinguishable marks on the frame so i know where to put it?
that would be a big help. Thank you.

I actually cut off all the unwanted brackets etc off my track bike.
Will have a look in the shed over the weekend to see if i still have the side stand bracket.
