If your reasonably handy with simple metalwork you can make a standard Bullet sidestand (from H’s catalogue) fit a Crusader. I’ve done it so most people can! I no longer have the Crusader but from memory it’s a case of shortening the tube where it fits on the footrest ‘hexagon’ and altering the rear-facing bracket so that it can be clamped to the frame.

I have a friend who has fitted the 92508 sidestand to his Crusader with minimum alterations, shortening of collars and I think and its done.

Hi, I've just got a side stand for my Crusader Sports
from India. I had tried some others from a Classic Bike
Dealer but they had design/manufacturing faults, so ordered from India.
They are a good fit ( Bolt on). However, once in position it was tack welded to
frame. It's now having clamp bolt holes ground off and will be fully welded
prior to frame being prepped for powder coating.
