Thanks for all the help so far. Doesn't look like I had much luck heating with MAP gas and bending. Maybe give it one more try before heading to the metal shop or looking for a new one.

Guzzisti, It is VERY tempting to try and lever on that bent bracket with the kickstand! I will heed your advice. Thank you so much!

Thanks! It looked like that bracket was bent, but it is cast aluminum with a big (ish) stiffening rib cast into it, so I wasn't sure. The bolt holes don't align up any longer but I am lucky in the fact that the sump threads appear to be OK and the remnants of the bolt backed out with very little effort at all. So, thinking some bracket straightening or finding a used one is in my future.

Hi, Came home yesterday, deployed the side stand, leaned the bike over and she pinned me to the garage wall. I tried to attach attach a photo of what looks to be either a bent/broken side stand, or one that is missing pieces. I have looked at an exploded parts diagram in an effort to figure out what my situation is, but it wasn't much help. Any advice or a pic of a functioning, fully bolted together side stand would be appreciated. Thanks much! MG stand-min1.zip

My bike came with a set installed, so I have no idea what the PO did, if anything, to the ecu. I have the stock headpipes without a crossover, so all may be stock. I can say that they sound great, not obnoxiously loud, and they are very well constructed.

I have been mistaken for a Ducati in the rear before. Never a Hayabusa...God, what an ugly thing. The fairing either looks like an Edsel or.... an unattractive vagina.
