MZ/MuZ Riders

Skorpion kick stand tab broke.......now what ?
This is not a simple thing to repair, when you think about how much the weight/stress and the geometry.
Apparently they used cheese quality steel for the kickstand. The hole has elongated and the metal fractured.

Thinking I could stick weld and grind down...new material.
or cut and weld a new tab...(more uncertainty and more fabrication work)

Submit all ideas....to fix it once and for all.
I'm never letting go. They have to pry my MZ Skorpion from my cold dead hands....

Good job you've a centre stand!! Well I'd reshape that round the pin that went through it. Couple of tacks either end then massive V grind down the middle and weld the slot just created. For good measure I'd possibly also weld a washer on the back too with similar profile.

that Kickstasnd bushing is hardened.....the metal tab is not.
no room for a washer on the back side.
washers are soft too....
maybe run a few beads on the front and grind them down for a tighter kickstand yoke fit
