I too am interested in the rubber grommet. I have attached some pictures The grommet is 21mm across the flat back. It is 13 mm from the flat back to the crown on the front. The channel around the grommet that fits on the side cover is 3mm deep. If you are having some made, I would be interested in purchasing 10 of the grommets. Let me know Mike

The standard side stand on my 1976 Ty175 is 348 mm from the center of the mounting hole to the very tip end. That being said, I find that it is too short and the bike leans over too much. This puts a lot of weight on the stand and if the dirt is soft, the bike will fall over. Being in the states, I buy 5/8" solid steel bar stock and cut a piece 50mm long. I cut the stand where it is approximately 5/8" in diameter and weld the bar stock between the two pieces. The stand is then 398 mm long from the tip to the center of the mounting hole. The bike still leans over, but stands up straighter and doesn't fall over as easily.

I put the 06 spring in my 05 Raga and the clutch pull is much lighter. Do it, you will love it. Mike
