Joe is right.Safety seals for fire extinguishers are designed to break at a pressure that is light enough to do the job,but not be so strong that a smaller,elder person could not break one.
I would be happy to donate all seals needed to secure side stands for the motorcycles.As has been mentioned,the newer bikes are wired to shut off if not in the full upright position while in gear.Removing the side stand is of no benefit to the newer bikes.Perhaps a Mfg. date for factory produced bikes?Sorry guys--I don't get this one.,but that does not mean much.
