998 Changing The Sidestand To Reduce The Lean Angle

Discussion in '748 / 916 / 996 / 998' started by Cobbett, Oct 1, 2015.

  1. I know some on here have put a 1098 side-stand on the 998 to reduce the lean angle, and I fancy joining the club - the existing lean angle on mine spooks me.

    But I've confused myself a bit. Is the 848/1098/1198 side-stand the same thing or is one of those in particular optimal?

    Looking on the net I can't work out what part number I want: I thought it was

    55610462A [silver, which would match better], or 55610462AB [black]

    But I'm also seeing:

    55610621A / 55610462AB

    - so I’m not sure which I'm after. Thanks for any steers.
     
  2. 556.1.046.1A is 2007 1098
    556.1.046.2A 1098 & 848 is 2008 onwards but looks the same in the part diagram as 2007 stand
    556.1.046.2AB is 1098 & 848 Black (but not always listed as black)
    556.1.061.2AA is 2012 onwards 1199 and is a different shape to all others
    556.1.062.1AB is 2012 848 but looks the same as all earlier ones in the part diagram

    That's the most boring response I have ever seen to a question and I wrote it :Wideyed:

  3. I put it down to all your jet lag. Hard to keep track on where you are! :)
     
  4. I've just got one for mine off eBay and the cheapest I could find was £75. Try to get the side stand only as the bracket and Spring fixings are the same / interchangeable and should be cheaper than buying the job lot.
     
  5. But actually useful [emoji11]
     
  6. Did you check how much a new one was from Ducati? It may well have been cheaper ;)
    @nelly how much are they new? :)
     
  7. 2007 1098 is £115 new
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 2
  8. I bartered with a breaker on eBay and managed to pay £50 for stand with bracket.
     
  9. Worth a try! I know my mate got a new fairing bracket for a 999 cheaper than he could get on Ebay at the time.
     
  10. indicators are the same price new as on eBay.
     
  11. That's actually brilliant, thank you. It sounds like the 2012-on ones are the same length so I assume I can go for any of these.
     
  12. S2r monster ones are longer. I've got one on mine. Fit to existing holes also.
