A while back, I built a KZ250 cafe' racer. The bike was free and I was bored, so....

I cut off the stck kickstand mount because I THOUGHT the rear set linkage, etc. would interfere with it. Turns out it probably would have been OK.
The bike weighs less than 250 lbs. and isn't that hard for me to get on the centerstand (I had to trim about an inch off the bracket you put your foot on to push down the centerstand), but I'm considering selling the bike and would like to have a kick stand on it.

What are my options? With a bike this light, would a bicycle kick stand work? I've seen a few motorcycle kick stands that bolt on or clamp to the frame rail, but they're usually Harley or chopper stuff and expen$ive. Thoughts?
 
Serach for "motocross kickstands". There are several different types and you can usually find them for a decent price. Only issue is that they tend to be pretty tall (as theyre for MX bikes) so you'll have to trim the actual stand.
