I would like to paint my side stand on my 02 Nighthawk but I can't get the damn thing off. Is the nut on the under side backward threaded. If not that thing is on so tight that my wrench is going to round it off. I can get a 6 point socket on it but not a rachet or breaker bar because the bottom of the exhaust is in the way. Help please. Tom
 
So I found out it is not backward threaded. It's a lock nut on the backside of a threaded mount. Must have been 100 ft. lbs. of torque on that nut and bolt. I'm going to replace the nut because I did so much damage to it. Kickstand is looking good after first coat.
