Dirty kickstand?


I'm lookin to add some "Bling" to my old-ass 1982 YZ250 in the form of a kick-stand. I get really tired of hunting down a tree to lean it against while trail riding, nevermind the headache when cleaning it. I use a homemade bench-type stand to hoist it on when it's not being used, but I would much rather have a real kickstand. I don't care about weight, after all it's 22 years old.

Any recommendations?

I saw those swingarm mounted ones, but they are pricey ($150) and the bike isn't worth three times that. If I can get away with something in the $60 range I will be happy.

You can make a stand that goes in the axle. Go to home Cheapo and get yourself some round bar stock that will fit in the axle hole. Bend it in the shape of a triangle with a 2 inch piece on the at a 90 degree angle where the last 2 corners come together.
I probably just made no sense but I know what I mean. I think???
