Kickstand question
This might be one of those topics you guys are tired of reading about but...I can't find a good thread on the subject. I have ran over my kickstand a couple of times (I know it's a stupid mistake but I was use to my CBR that would cut off if the kickstand was down when I shifted into 1st gear)
I bought this R1 used and soon found out that the guy before me somehow disconnected it. When I look at it I can't see any obvious signs of tampering. It looks like it is a piston or plundger that when depressed allows you to shift into first. Well on my bike it doesn't have to be. I can shift into first and drive off, then run over my kickstand.
It's a little bent but no damage to the aluminum mounting bracket. I would like to get this function back until my dumb a$$ can remember to kick it up.
Any help would be great. I'll give you bonus points for finding the thread I am looking for. I tried 4 different searches and cruised through the first 6 pages on a "kickstand" search...Lots for sale.

Trace the kickstand switch wires until you find the plug. It's probably under the tank(air filter). He probably jumped the switch to thinks it's up all the time.

Thanks, I'll trace it back and see if that is where he jumpered it.

Lol! Dont rely on the switch! Lol! Rely on the brain! What did we do before sidestand switches? We fell off! Lol! I still subconciously check before I move if, just habit, but better still, with the price of parts nowadays, get it sorted lol! Then learn to learn lol!

Can't say I'm proud of it but it happens. 
You would think the embarrassment of it would be enough to make you never do it again until I did it a second time and then a third. So what's more embarrassing; running over your kickstand or stalling it because you forgot to kick it up?

Okay, so I guess there is some bracket that attaches to the kickstand by a 6mm screw on the back. The bracket is what presses the plunger in when the kickstand is down. If you want to bypass the kickstand function it is as simple as removing one screw and taking the bracket off.
I had to fab a bracket of my own to work and...perfect.
What is this bracket? Where do I get one? And what does it look like? Just curious because I had to come up with one on my own and i'd like to see how they differ.
