BEST Replacement Side Stand KIT?

[wfopete]

The OEM Side Stand kit Stark sent has the old style bracket so I'm sending it back.

What's out there for replacement kits Ali or others?

I don't need/want auto return.

I'm perfectly satisfied with the original oem side stand (after adding the screw mod and cutting off the auto return spool).

I could tolerate the mods needed but the old style bracket that came with the kit is is a deal breaker for me and Stark is using up NOS before going 100% with the new updated bracket.

Yea, they really screwed the early adopters on the kickstand bracket.
Originally they said everyone would receive a new corrected bracket free of charge.
Then they seemed to forget all about saying that, and just kept sending out the same pos bracket.
My original one broke and they sent me a new one (same as original).
But I welded it and it's still working.
And they have sent me at least one more of the original pos bracket.
Sorry, I don't know of any aftermarket except maybe Racetork.

FYI from Stark as of this month:

Thank you for contacting us.
As of now, the new side stand bracket is not available in our spare parts inventory for warranty replacements.
The allocation of parts for new production bikes and for aftersales support can sometimes differ due to supply chain and production planning constraints. This means that while some new bikes may be delivered with the updated part, we are not always able to offer it immediately as a replacement part for existing bikes until sufficient stock is available for aftersales distribution.

Feel free to let us know if there is anything else you'd like assistance with.

I just bought this one and received it yesterday. I haven't installed it yet, but it looks nice: (see below). I did the screw mod and it keeps on falling out even though I used loctite. I'm puzzled why it keeps on falling out.

I had just that bracket. But the screws came out and ripped the thread. My bad for not using threadlocker and retightening it after some time.
Furter it worked like a charm, you could do pivot turn on the sidestand with that bracket. Just thinking about that will snap the OEM.

Ordered it again with their complete sidestand. Will use threadlocker and retightening it this time

My EX came with the better bracket and I added a screw to the stand(not the bracket) to change angle which works fine. Then I got the bracket below which is stronger and corrects the angle, so I removed the screw. Surprised it came from China in only about a week.
