Thanks but that’s for the centre stand which is is already on my exhaust so that’s fine it the side stand that’s bangs against the exhaustEither the frame mount is bent or worn, which is very common, or the exhaust isn't fitted correctly, or the side stand is bent (also very common) or the wrong one for that model (and you've guessed it, also very common 😊)

Thanks Julie I was kind of thinking along the lines it might not be the correct stand as I’ve come across a couple of things that don’t seem right, doesn’t seem bent. Should it just about touch exhaust or clear it by a good amount ?Not sure about the clearance but it certainly shouldn't touch.

If you post a side view pic of your bike, someone with a K3 will be able to advise on clearance.

I have just checked my K3 and my side stand is also touching the exhaust pipe when it is in the parked position. To be fair I very use the side stand, when I tried the side stand with the bike on the centre stand it appears there is a bit of lateral movement around the bolt which probably means that the bolt hole in the frame is worn. I may disassemble it this weekend and have a look.Thanks for reply Dave, my side stand when in up position touches and if the exhaust wasn’t there it would raise even higher, something can’t be right, I’ve had exhaust off and back on again and it’s in correct position and the stand or mounting bracket doesn’t look damaged, but when riding it going to constantly bang and rub damaging exhaust even more

Looks like the stop on the frame is worn. A little weld will solve it .

I would also loosen off the nuts on the head and the mounting bolt, then try to push the pipe towards the bike to see if that gives more clearance ;)

I can’t seem to see anything wrong with the stand or the mount, I may have to just come up with my own solution that stops the stand coming up as far so it doesn’t touch exhaust, obviously been like it for ages as exhaust is pretty dented where they meet

Hi,
Mine is a 1977 spec K3, if it is dry at the weekend I'll get out of the garage and take some pictures and measurements.

That would be brilliant if you could, finding it frustrating to say the least, brought the bike back to life new paint job etc.. and silly little things like this don’t half cheese me off

As promised here are a couple of photos of my 550K3 (originally US spec) side stand. As you can see there is a couple of mm gap between the side stand and the exhaust.
