• Bought a shorter bolt and installed the Pletscher kickstand. It’s a bit frustrating, the original bolt is too long at 65mm, but the replacement bolt is a touch too short at 50mm and can’t fit the split ring washer. I couldn’t find anything in between. I also don’t have a lot of room to use the original bolt with washers because of the seat tube. I’m going to try the 50mm with some loctite for now.

  • How about cutting off of the 65mm to fit - alternatively buy a new 65mm to cut and leave the original as spare? I've had a few kick stands come loose, so I wouldn't forego the locking washer if I were you.
