Frame repair 1976 xs650c

[Andy1]

Just wondering if anyone can help with details of the handle on the rear lhs used to assist with putting bike on the centre stand. Mine has been ground off and i am sick of damaging the indicator putting the bike on the stand. Sketch photo with some dimensions would be big help

you mean the grab bar or the rear frame loop ..a pic would help a ton ..if you need a new grab bar you can get them really cheap .. there a dime a dozen

I think he means the arm that is welded to the side of the center stand.

Here is a link to frame drawings with dimensions. Might help. I don't see why you couldn't just make something to work.

i am trying to put bike back to standard, i wanted the measurements that the handle comes out from the frame just below seat as i know it is not square so i expected one side to be, guess 70mm and other end to be 50mm something similar?
