Side stand fix?

[duc13]

Was doing a bit of work on the S/L today and was knelt next to the bike turning the bars from left to right , checking cable free play.
Next thing i know the bikes trying to fall on me , the 2 bolts holding the side stand on have stripped their thread and the stand is basically just hanging .
It's also broken a bit of the threaded casting off the case .

Anyone had the same happen ? easy fix ?
Was thinking maybe a metal bond of some sort (Devcon or similar) to re attach the broken bit, drill out old thread and use a helicoil ?
If thats the way to go (having never used one) where do i get a helicoil kit ?

I would replace the whole stand
In the mean time use a rear stand

Pretty sure the stand bolts to the engine case on the SL Shan.
Depending on how much metal is left on the mounts you may get away with a helicoil. Would be good if the faces were flush & square so it had a good purchse when tightened.
You may need to build it up with weld (tig) before repairing the thread.

As my usual Ducati advise go's - See Justin at Pro Twin, not many problems he hasn't seen.

Cheer's guys , as Bert says shan it bolts to the engine case and a rear stand can be a little awkward to lug around .

Time for a tap/helicoil?
