Hi everyone !
After owning a LeMans ‘78 for the past few years I am only now leaning towards changing out the dreaded suicide side stand. I read somewhere awhile back that the “ Brown “ stand ( I think actually for BMW’s ? ) are the one to go with. I can ‘t remember the supplier of them though - somewhere here in the U.S. which will be easier for me. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance !
Boxerworks is the name you are looking for, they make them in batches so you need to call or email to see what the latest info is. I have had 3 over the years 4 if you count the one dhl lost in the post !!!
If you are in the states you are lucky, not sure if they are happy posting to the UK now.

I just came across a link to the stand whilst looking for something else!
Way too rich for my tastes once you factor in getting it to the UK. Post is USD100 then add 20% VAT. Plus any custom fees on top. Knocking on for £450 by the time it gets to yiur door…
Why dont you just fit a LeMans IV Sidestand Bracket and then you can also retain the original Stand.
Thanks Gino for stumbling across it for me lol .!! I’ll search them and check into them. I think there’s mention of them on the “ This old tractor “ website. Cheers again : )

Thanks also to you too @Don-Spada - I believe that is the picture I see many moons ago. Maybe I didn’t buy at the time due partly to the price but mainly the aesthetics. I will re-visit the website.
Many thanks to everyone and happy hol’s !!
Many moons ago there was a sidestand which was made by Astico which uses a 1970s Triumph leg fitted to an adapter which uses the usual front engine bolt.I had one fitted to my 1975 T3 for many years and worked very well but obviously the later LeMans is probably different.
I have one for sale which is unused and will need minor fettling ,£60 plus p and p if anyone is interested. Eddie
