Army you don't have to do this you have a 09 with the new pin already, mine did also but I have a kickstand from a low so I had to do this and luckily I had the pin from my 09 kickstand.
i just ordered the pin through Gateway H-d in St.Louis and they had it discounted for a total of under $9. Just so anyone else looking to buy knows
Boss: may i join you? lolGreat info and write up. I will be accomplishing this soon.
well i guess since mine is an 2009, i don't have this problem.
Yeah, friggin H/D just went up on parts. The newer bikes have a better kick stand BUT make sure to keep an extra pin and clip cause they do wear out quickly. Cheap crap from Korea and so on. Nice DIY Kona, and a C,clip may last longer with the up and down motion. My E clip popped off so after the new C- clip seems ok . Good picts .*Jimi
so do i need to do this or not? i have a 2009 xb lightning.
I believe 07 is when they changed it I could be wrong its as simple as walking out and looking at your kickstand. If there is a e clip on the backside you don't need it, if the pin is screwed into the back hole of the kickstand I would recommend it.
