Number code on kickstand

[Dbike]

I was doing some maintenance on my '69 Fair Lady dirt bike and noticed 4 numbers stamped on the underside of the kickstand. Hard to read but it looks like "8339." Interesting that even the kickstands had codes!

Quite a few Schwinn kick stands are numbered. It is hard to match a stand with out it. It is amazing how many different ones they made. There are also 2 different cams that go with them.

I am quite sure it is the original kickstand.

Yes it would be ,I have found that one on a few Stingray's with the same frame geometry.

Makes sense. Probably very rare when a kickstand needs replacing. They are quite rugged!

I think most of the time they get rusted and beat up then guys want a nicer one for a build.

Yes, that is probably the only reason I would replace it... rusted and/or coming off the bracket.

By the 70's Schwinn put part numbers on about everything, even fender struts ( not all for some reason? ), to bad the real Schwinn is not around anymore, you could just order new ones from that #.

The different cams are they only Stingray or does Stingray have 2 different cams even?

All models if they were around before and after the change.
