This is pretty strong as is.  I'm 250 lbs and I can jump up and down on these but I may still add a cross member between the two brackets like Ryca does for even more strength.   If I do, I'll bolt it in between the brackets instead of welding just to make it easier to take apart if I ever need to.

I'll get the important measurements when I take it apart to paint.  You could probably just use Ryca's bracket and fabricate the needed hardware to put pegs wherever you like.  It would have been easier.  

Up next is a proper kick stand.  I'm modifying a stock stand (keeping the safety switch) and mounting it up like Ryca does.  I'll post that in here and/or in my build thread: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1472222031

As I posted in your build thread, those controls look great and they look strong. Well done!

Moto,

Very good.

I wish I was clever enough to make a set for my S40.

Kickstand with safety switch installed.  Seems like it should be here with the mid controls because if you build mid controls and lose the forward mounts, you're going to need a kickstand.

WARNING: The OEM kickstand mount hangs too low with this bracket and hits the ground if you hit a bump while cornering.  It happened to me and I nearly crashed. This is NOT a good solution without the bracket that Ryca made.

Chopped up an old OEM mount and attached it Ryca style.

From here you can shape them as needed.  But they end up being about 4" long.  

My standoffs are just over 2-1/4" long and almost on center with the swing arm.
