I wonder if you could make a spacer for your case saver?
it appears to be missing some there :shh:

Here's a rearview pic. It's tucked up there just like any other bike with a stand off the frame. Sorry rbates, i didn't understand what you were getting at. I modified my spring mount to the backside of the kickstand. DIY, my case saver has a spacer built into it, it looks deceiving but the saver sits dead in the middle of the chain.

I see it now, you have the actual metal case saver but your missing the plastic cover
once you install that it actual comes out passed the chain

but I think you have the important part there

I removed that plastic piece a long time ago. All sorts of trail garbage seemed to naturally collect under there.

Your "new" kickstand looks good - nice job!

Time to check in. I have put a few good rides on it and am really happy with it! I'm gonna try to find a different spring, its a little weak. But the rest of it works perfect. So good, I'm just gonna cut the original spring mount off the stand cuz I feel it hit my heel every once in a while and don't plan on returning it to stock. I've put the whole weight of the bike on it and it doenst budge, nice and sturdy. It also works on any terrain, sand, mud, rocks, I've not had an issue with it sinking or the bike falling over. So all in all, glad I did it!

Subbed so I can copy this! :partyman: I tried to do something like that myself and never got around to finishing it!

When you decide to do it let me know, I just realized I left some stuff out of the build thread, like how I got the spring mounted and plugged the swing arm holes.
