KZ 400 Sidestand Issue

Hey Guys,

Have a 77 KZ 400 Tracker project on the go. Dumped the center stand for custom exhaust but side stand is soooo short bike has a wicked lean when it's on it. anyone know a swap out for another bike? Or an simple way to just make it longer?

I have a KZ 250 pretty sure they are the same frame, I had the same issue after talking to a friend who has built parts for several custom bikes we decided the easiest and best way was to cut it off and reweld it on a better angle, if you have access to a welder this is the best solution, I looked into putting another one on but finding a stand in a longer length turned out to be more trouble, time consuming and more expensive than just adjusting the existing mount.
