Great pics! Thanks much. Bookmarking this -- first thing I took off. Side stand was way too straight. Knocked her off the stand first time I tried to swing my leg over her. Mind you I'm 5' 2" ish. Took the stand to a welding shop to fix the angle. This'll help a lot putting her back together.I quite like the later stand style and both of mine work great. In fact, I consider it one of the nicest sidestands I've ever had on any bike. But be aware, some of the stand parts diagrams are drawn wrong. They show the spring pivot post set below the pivot and bolt .....

It should be flipped around so the spring post is above the pivot and bolt .....
I'm not sure if it matters but since every diagram shows it this way, I always install the spring with the loose hook that rotates inside the coil facing up .....
As long as you have a welder....
Awesome! I haven't dropped the sump yet though there's a new filter in my Too Be Installed parts bin. As for the "rake" my kickstand had almost none. Less than 5%. I suspect it's not the original. I poked around the forums and asked Bob (Bob's welding) to take it to about 15%. If it's too much I'll ride it over later and have him readjust it. My '82 was almost too far the other way.
OK, now I gotta find that grease fitting. Four cans of de-greaser and a whole lotta bristle brushing since I took off the side stand, and I can SEE most of the actual frame -- paints even in great shape -- but I didn't notice that fitting.
I keep coming back to this set of pictures as I'm getting closer to reinstalling the kickstand -- your lighting's way better than mine was taking it off, AND mine was well encased in old road tar. Still can't see how I missed that grease fitting. Unless it's still encrusted, which would mean I missed a whole hunk a junk.
Good luck finding that fitting on your bike Shelby.
well no wonder I didn't notice a fitting there!
