Author Message   Jvv Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - 01:27 pm:        Getting the 2 ready for the Christmas event and I can't find the side stand plate that keeps the bike from leaning over so far. American Sports bike no longer has them on their web site. Any Ideas...?? Ride safe........Jack   Essmjay Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - 03:36 pm:        I did the bend on the kickstand and it turned out fine. Looks a bit different than the Aaron bend but works fine. I used an oxy-acetlyene torch to heat the metal and then repainted after.   Essmjay Posted on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 - 03:51 pm:        In action.   Jvv Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - 12:06 am:        If I can't find a plate I will probably bend the stand too. I have been "gunna" do it for years and never seem to get around to it. Ride safe........Jack   Ebutch Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - 01:09 pm:        http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/470821.html   Buellish Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - 04:38 pm:        The side plates may still be available from Gilbert's Harley Davidson in Port Huron MI. 810-982-4351 Jim Gilbert was a Buell and S2 enthusiast that hated the way the S2 leaned over too far.He had side plates made up that corrected the lean by changing the angle of the side stand and using an M2 or X1 side stand. I have a set that I've moved from bike to bike.(you'll get my Gilbert side plates when you pry them from my cold dead hands) Look here: http://www.doncasto.net/DonCastosS2ConventionalWis dom.html#S2%20Sidestands   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - 10:19 pm:        It's my fault. I got Al's last set, four or five years ago. I'd say "sorry"...but I'm not   Buellish Posted on Thursday, June 02, 2011 - 07:14 am:        "I'd say "sorry"...but I'm not" If you ever straighten up an S2,you'll never go back!   Ebutch Posted on Thursday, June 02, 2011 - 11:26 pm:        RS Kick-stand Aaron-bend,Hmmmmmm   Ebutch Posted on Thursday, June 02, 2011 - 11:39 pm:        http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/14036.html?WednesdayJuly1720020824am#POST109379 Don Castro,Rickie,Aaron   Onahog Posted on Friday, June 03, 2011 - 01:18 am:        I did the Aaron bend on my 2- s2Ts..had to change to a shorter spring, but it works awesome...Im luvin it..   Jvv Posted on Friday, June 03, 2011 - 09:10 pm:        I made a bunch of calls to Gilberts.........kept getting the answering machine.......will try again Monday......other wise I guess it is "bend" time........ ride safe.........Jack   Buellish Posted on Monday, June 06, 2011 - 09:45 pm:        Jack,any luck with Gilbert's today?   Jvv Posted on Tuesday, June 07, 2011 - 12:05 am:        didn't try..........figured they were maybe closed on Mondays. I did take the bike to Bankes to get S3 bags installed. If I can't get the side plates in the few days, I am going to have him do the "bend" Ride safe.......Jack
