These part numbers my help in tracing some brackets.  42-4776, 65-4739, 65-4743  Try some of the venders.  *idea*

A lot of the repro new ones are pretty rubbish  *problem*
I bought one from a reputable UK supplier and was rather underwhelmed so didnt end up fitting it.
I'd be checking out swap meets and putting a wanted ad on the forum.

I'm currently relying on my mainstand (which also needed remedial repairs) on my solo  *doh*.
Of course sidecars don't need a side stand!

If you have the lug on the frame, mid 60's unit single side stands are cheap, available, and work surprisingly well. They do take some "fitting" but not a big deal for the price.
