Has anyone found an alternative sidestand for the model 8 instead of the original which are a bit rare.

I posted something about this a few months back - one of the stalwarts of the forum had mentioned that an Indian Enfield side-stand could be modified for the Lightweights but I never managed to get any definitive info about what needed to be done - it MAY have appeared in an old Jampot. I can quiz that member again but there could be your starting point. I see loads of the Indian sidestands on eBay, fairly cheap, around £15-25, which compares well to the outrageous £90-100 wanted for one from some places!

That's well over £100 for the stand, spring, bolt and bracket! Their stuff is good but...

Theres a Jawa stand that will fit, BUT, it fits in place of a near side footrest.

I decided to buy the "original" sidestand from JSL, not cheap and needed some grinding, but does the job...

I'd remove your email from the forum David and in future only send it by PM.
