You are welcome. There are already two threaded holes on the frame. Mine were covered by two plastic caps.

Kickstand on order, should have it this Saturday.
Will post another pic once the forwards and old kick stand have been removed.

Fwd controls removed (Hurrah!) and Arlen Ness Kick stand fitted.

Alain, thanks for the tip about the set screw, I too had the same problem, 6mm screw supplied yet the thread in the stand is 1/4 UNC (WTF?)

Jiffy Stand sensor by pass/link out?

Didn't fancy separating the the sensor plug to fit a jumper across pins 1 & 2.
I came up with this very simple solution,

Steel washer (sensor is magnetic) on face of sensor and then shrouded with heat shrink tubing, nice and simple!

Let me know about the brake light switch man.
The Goodridge Brake light pressure switch wiring is almost a direct swap with the HD version, you just need to replace the ends of the leads with 2 larger spade connectors like so;

Nearly there!

New banjo's fitted to rear brake caliper and rear brake master cylinder.
Mocked up a piece of tubing to get the correct length of brake hose between caliper and master cylinder.
Goodridge instruct that the measurement should be taken from the centre line of each banjo, my setup measures 540 mm.

Will be ordering the black sleeved hose tomorrow.

Glad to hear you're moving forward with the project. Mine has completely stalled. Too cold here to be outside in the garage working on the bike.

The kick stand is a niece piece, it's amazing that they don't realize they are sending out the incorrect set screw with it hahaha.

Thank you for the info on the brake light switch. I haven't looked at my bike in a long time so I forget what the connector on the bike's wiring harness looks like. I'm sure that using those same spade connectors in your picture would work for my setup.

Keep us posted on your progress man.

By the way, can you post a picture of where your brake light switch plugs into the bike's wore harness ?

Here you go,
The black connectors on the right were originally fitted to the HD switch.
I've since covered the join with heat shrink tubing.
