i just find it funny that the kick stand bolt goes from about 1/2 inch thickness to little 1/4 inch threads ,(thats what broke the threads snaped off) this happen to anyone??. i dont think buell's were meant to be turned around on the kick stand either.

ya but its sooo much easier to turn around tho lol, i think buell spent toomuch time on the frame n swingarm, and brake rotor system, n not enough time on the simple ****

i agree its alot easier but i broke the flange off the frame on a jap bike doing that. its definetly not good on them. seeing how buells dont have a center stand i just stopped doing it.
