RD350 F2 SIDESTAND - HELP NEEDED

[watchhislegs]

I'm building a F2 from bits and have run into a problem with the side stand. The lugs are on the frame for the switch but I'm not sure how it is activated. I don't have the switch but I have a stand I got off someone on the forum (thanks mate).

Can someone post some pictures of their stand and show me what the crack is?

I've got one of norbo's looms and don't know whether the wiring is included on that loom for the switch and relay. from what I can see from the parts fiche some countries HD the switch and others didn't. I'm puzzled, and a bit tipsy so sorry for waffling on.

I'm off to bed and hopefully someone will have put me out of my misery by tomorrow night.

Thanks

Nico

cheers matt, but how is the switch activated? I can't see anything on the actual side stand that will engage the switch. I hope I'm not being daft here.

anyone shed any light?

heres a pic,
and i do have a spare switch if you need one.
the angled bit on the side stand pivots around and pushes the button in

cheers Kenny, I'll have a think about getting the switch off you. thanks for the pics, really helpful.

so, the f2 must have a specific side stand as the one I have doesn't have a tang on it. parts manual for non European models has a different number side stand marked 1ua instead of 29L.

anyone know if the switch and relay can be disconnected and you can run without it?

anyone got a f2 side stand they want to sell?

it's like a bloody jigsaw puzzle this build. fun though!

If you need a new switch a R6 one bolts straight on & are obviously newer & more reliable.

You dont have to have the side stand switch fitted just make up a link wire to fit on the loom side of the plug.

If you don't have the correct side stand just weld on a lug to operate the switch, that's what I did.
