Re: fitting a side stand
If it didn't originally have one then the fitting for it won't be there.
You'll have to try and find a set of foot pegs with the stand already fitted.
Is yours a kick or leccy start bike?

Re: fitting a side stand
Sidestands disappeared from UK Cubs in the early '90s thanks to health & safety legislation for new bikes..
An engine cut-out became required if you put it in gear with the stand down, so Honda just got rid of the stand.
You need a footrest bar from an earlier electric start version.

The kickstart-only model has a narrower engine case on the left, so it won't fit the leccy start engine.

Re: fitting a side stand
It's nearly always leccy start sidestands you see on ebay. I've had a couple on my kickstart bikes, you just need to adjust the gear lever. (In my case I just bent it outwards a little)Boo wrote:

But you won't need to do that with your leccy bike.
