    R100R side stand

    Is there any hope at all for the miserable side stand on my R100R? It's mounted WAY forward, springs back to the return position all by itself and is far too short. Other than those niggly drawbacks, it's a well-designed bit of equipment. :cry Has anyone found a way to either correct these...

I had back surgery back in January and I'm still a bit weak and inflexible so I had trouble getting my boot over the right side case.

    Side Stand Repair (maintanence)?

    After 21 years of use my side stand is a bit "wobbly" at it's mounting point so I'm sure the bushing is suffering from use. I have not disassembled yet but plan to later in the week. Problem is the bushing is no longer available from BMW. Anyone know what size it is so I can find a suitable...
