Does anyone know of somewhere in the Woking area i can get my side stand shortened? Since lowering the bike it is almost vertical on the stand.

Hopefully Derek (Chopper) or Kev will chime in, but we have used an engineering workshop in Ashtead for similar things. Afraid I can't recall details.

If it's a KTM just keep using it. They seem to shorten themselves on occasion.

Steel or alloy ?

If It's steel, I should be able to sort it for you.

I'm in Aldershot

I'm in Woking and I've used Paul Bateman Welding in Ripley a couple of times, 01483 223812 or 07702 353473

engineering firm in Ashtead is Cranford Engineering.
The owner is Paul. He is a real talented guy and seems to be able to repair anything.
