Side stand and rear indicator to fit S4RS

20-01-2017, 04:45 PM

My alloy side stand has snapped and resultant topple took out rear indicator also - would love to hear from anyone with a replacement for either of these taking up space in their shed... OEM parts if possible, or in the case of the indicator I would take a complete set of the black Ducati alloy replacements from that era...

Is that the original that snapped or an aftermarket one?
Was it parked on a very steep slope?
Will be checking mine for stress cracks!

Original, and the bike may have had a shunt from a car in the street, but certainly not on a slope. I've also been heavy handed with it from time to time, turning the bike around on the stand. Have been told it is not an isolated case though, so you would do well to check around the thinner section by the pin. See if these shots work...

Not black I know but genuine DP/DPM from around the right era. Any good?

Darren69 I'm tempted - I'll have to have a look at how the flexible mounts and guard all fit together and come back to you- these would be good on the front for sure.

If the stand off streetfighter would fit I've got one complete with bracket, let me know your thoughts.

Buzzbomb, can you post a picture of it, dims or part number even? I'm not sure I know how to find out otherwise but would definitely consider trying!

I think I may still have the proper DPM adapter plates for the front pair.

Where did it break ?
I'm particularly wondering whether the pivot knuckle area is still sound.
If you don't want the old bits, is there any chance that I could have them ?
I've been looking at various options for making an extended stand, possibly even with a carbon leg, and your broken stand may be the ideal basis for experimentation without having to cut up a good one.
I'd be happy to pay postage etc.

Hi Utopia, See other post for image - afraid it is at the pivot knuckle!

Ah well, it was worth an ask.
Thanks for the reply anyway.

I'm not having a dig but tbh, if you've been turning the bike around on the stand then I'm not surprised that it has broken.
On my 750, with steel stand, such treatment would be likely to damage the crankcases, so I guess you could consider yourself lucky.
I don't even allow the mot guy to use the stand to raise a wheel to check its bearings.

Good point on the MOT tester. They should ask first if your happy for them to do the test that way!

The MOT thingy was one of the reasons I fitted a centre stand to my M600

Utopia, dig away, its not recommended practice I know! Probably turned the bike in awkward situations a good couple of dozen times in 6 or so years. Haven't done it for some time prior to incident, but always figured if stand was going to go it would go most likely when first deployed - so a chance to catch it, or at home bike would simply rest against garage wall. Dear reader, if that sounds like something you do, and your stand is alloy, check your stand for cracks!
