Anybody out there with a destroyer figure out how to put a sidestand on it so you don't have to keep using that communist triangle.

:) use the street rod stand and mount and a dyna spring you have to cut the stand cause it is too long but it works

Why couldn't you use the "A" set up??

The "A" starts out lower to the ground and has the same frame (essentially) as the Destroyer.

the "A" frame is different. the Destroyer has a different tab on the frame down tube that is more like the R.the A, Aw side stand is a different set up probubly because of the forward controls.

i cut mine just below the tab then i welded a flat plate on the bottom of it.
every one will probobly be different depending on how much you lower the bike AHDRA you only need 2in clearance with 10PSI in the rear tire.

THANKS VERY MUCH RICH!!!!!

I agree that the triangle is at best a scary solution to holding up the bike!!

I hope you have a GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON!!!
