Once I got my GT250 on its wheels it was time to fabricate a sidestand for it which allowed me to not keep it on a mechanic stand all the time. I wanted to use bar and spring from a sidestand I had kept from one of previous my bikes and utilize stock mount on the GT250 frame. This way I only needed to fabricate a bracket in between them.

| Assembly of sidestand bracket |
 |
| Dimensions for plate |
 |
| Dimensions for blank |
 |
| Piece of flat bar bent with a press brake |
 |
| Bolt holes drilled and edge trimmed |
 |
| Holes for pin and bar drilled and profile of edge cut |
 |
| Dimensions for pin |
 |
| I didn't have 10 mm round bar so I utilized a piece from a long enough M10 bolt to make the pin |
 |
| Pin welded to the plate |
 |
| Dimensions for support plate |
 |
| Support plate tacked to the plate |
 |
| First mock up |
 |
| Bar was bit too long so it had to be shortened |
I also reinforced stock sidestand mount on the frame which I had previously hacked after cutting unnecessary parts from the frame such as stock footpeg mounts.
 |
| Starting point |
 |
| Unnecessary pieces cut off |
 |
| Piece of square tube... |
 |
| ...tacked.. |
 |
| ...and welded to stock sidestand mount |
 |
| Bottom side ground flat and edge profiled |
