Title: kickstands
Post by Cookie on Jun 12^th, 2009, 12:51pm

I am now the proud owner of a new/used Rans Stratus XP (2007). I would like to get a kickstand for it but am a little confused about what available. [smiley=chinscratch.gif]
I'm open for suggestions from XP owners. Also a good behind the seat storage bag. [smiley=dankk2.gif]

Cool!!! Where/who did you get it from?

An excellent kickstand is the Greenfield "Stabilizer"

http://www.greenfieldny.com/chart_bicycle.htm#stabilizer

they're about $25, and either Plano or RBM should be able to get one for you. They work with either disc brake versions or V-brake bikes (we have one of each type).

Regarding seatback bags, none of them are cheap... The RANS bags run about $100+, and the Fastback Systems "RB" combination bladder holder and accessory bag (http://www.fastbacksystem.com/page35/page10/page10.html)
is about $80. But either works well.

I have a RANS fairing bag ( http://www.shoprans.com/proddetail.asp?prod=BPAC0074) that fits onto the "Chopper bar" handlebars that I will sell you, for $40 ($66 new)

Thanks for the info Paul.
Its a 2007 model. Owner claims only 450 miles. I can believe it. In great shape, still has nubbies on the tires.
Got it off EBay from a guy in NY.
The fairing bag sounds like a good deal. Might be something I could use. I'll get back with you later on it.
