Stark Varg sidestand bracket

[Erwin P]

After snapping number x (really i lost count) of the sidestand bracket from both MX/EX i was done with it and ordered some Chinese version.

Have to say i'm rather impressed and can recomend it to anyone but @markhamr who will hate it for being 12 gr heavyer

If you people at Stark are reding this:
We know you love titanium, we do as well... But at some parts just know when to accept defeat, that's a great quality as wel!

Is the side stand still auto-retract?

Here is a link. I bought it on Aliexpress so i suspect there will be more sellers out there:

It's still auto retract. It's comperable to the EX sidestand in height. It however has the sidestand itself move less forward so less keen to bending inwards. And it's a lott stronger. I can pivot turn it on the sidestand now. Just thinking about that would have snapped the OEM one.

I now see they offer a full system for not that much more:

Shame i only hear about it now. I will leave on a big Enduro trip in a few days and actually ordered an extra OEM right hand motor cover as sparepart.
I really like Nice CNC. They make a lott for Beta and everything so far has been top quality and perfect fit. For Chinese stuff they're expencive, but they surpas quite some OEM/EU/US products in quality.
