Jimmy80 Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Managed to snap my stand in my 2017 RR yesterday, I’ve never been happy with the stand and had the bike fall off it many times, before I buy another does anyone know if the newer model stand has been changed ( for the better) and will it fit , or if any other brands will fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 A blob of weld on the stand bracket to stop the stand swinging forward so far works,holds the bike more upright,I've done it to mine,Take the bracket off the bike to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess it will fit your 2017 but check with your dealer. Get both the stand and mounting bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I got a Mitani Montesa stand to fit with a little modification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanMcP Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hi, just signed up to the forum yesterday. TRS 280. I was not happy with the "lean angle" of the bike, or the stand. I just fixed mine with a piece of 1/8" stainless steel, drilled, countersunk and bent in the vise with a hammer. Tapped the stand for #10 x 24 flathead screw. It was leaning at 17 degrees from vertical, now it's at 6.5 deg. And it seems less likely to break the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdscarbro Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I've been making these cast plastic "feet" for the original TRS kickstand for several years. They're a big help in keeping the kickstand from "tent staking" into the ground. PM me if interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
