Side stand CB550k 1977

(1/6) > >>

My side stand hits the exhaust when up to the point where it’s left quite a big dent, the exhausts are the originals. I presume it shouldn’t touch the exhausts at all, Has anyone got a photo of theirs they could post please or ideas how to stop it. Previous owner seemed happy to live with it but the price of these exhausts I’d rather stop it before putting a hole in it

There should be a rubber stopper on the exhaust part number  9501161000  ;)

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 exhaust

Either 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 ?
