CB77 Side stand

Hi,

I had a trial run of fitting my new reproduction mufflers to my CB77 the other day, and came across a problem.

The side stand on my bike appears to be too short - there's a recessed part in the muffler that I assume the side stand is supposed to fit into when its folded away, but mine just hits the muffler a long way forward of that. The bracket which the side stand attaches to on the bike looks to be original, my guess is that the previous owner fitted a different side stand when he fitted the exhaust system which is on the bike at the moment.

I'd be really grateful if anyone could post a picture of how the side stand should sit with original mufflers, and if someone could measure the length of an original side stand so I can make sure mine is definitely the wrong one.

Thanks :)

Steph.

the recess in the muffler is for part of the center stand, which I presume is not installed on your bike.

Hi, I do also have a centre stand on the bike which looks as if it will fit into the recess perfectly. How is the side stand supposed to sit under the muffler? A picture would be really helpful.

A rubber donut is installed on the arm and it touches the bottom of the muffler. ...........lm
