Phil,the stainless bolt on the Brancato site replaces the original one in the sidestand.the only thing that makes the stand flip up is because it hits the retaining nut on the back of the standard bolt.The replacement does away with this nut.It also is pre drilled to allow it to be lockwired,so you are happy in the knowledge it will never come out!!If Nelly has got the same thing thing,get it from him.
