    That's where the shift rod mounts to the bike! how can I remove the kickstand while keeping the mount?

    You just remove the pivot bolt and nut.

    What Bruce said, but if you want to make it permanent and maybe lose a few more grams of weight, an angle grinder would do the trick. :D

    I always thought about doing that, but it was so convenient to just bolt the kickstand back on at the end of a race weekend to ease loading/unloading.

    And frame modifications are illegal in Superstock....

    Thank you gents, appreciate the feedback!

    Who wouldn't want bonus weight savings as long as legal in the class?!

    We make brackets at the shop that the shift lever bolts to and has provisions for the bodywork bracket as well that replace the large OEM bracket.

    Would that be considered a frame mod? It's a bracket that bolts to the frame.

    Wait..didn't some guy in NJ invent those? And everything else for an R6?

    If it's a bracket then no. Modifying a bracket is fine, the reason I mentioned frame is I was looking at a kickstand bracket that was cut from a frame that sits on my desk.

    vs putting a TRS bracket on & rolling the bike in? Funny for the ones that complain about how expensive it is until that one weekend where you have a 3pm race and an 8-10hr drive home. :)

    More so that I can conveniently move the bike around without having to worry about a stand. The bike got packed last. This was just for the R6 since you needed that bracket there anyway.

    Just saw this. We're in the process of getting a new (to us) CNC machine in the shop, so we don't have any at the moment. We should have some by early February.

    I might have one or two squirreled away if you need it. Can’t look until next week.
