Thanks for the information. Of course you are correct, out of the thousands of bikes out there it is a very small number that have had problems of breaking the engine casing at the stand fixing. . It is no doubt not in double figures, probably around 6 cases.  You did a really good job of repairing it.  I only asked the question as i have never heard of a kick stand ripping off of any motorcycle unless the bolts were loose or dropped out. When i read about this and thought about the strength of aluminium castings it just looks like a weak point. Obviously Triumph have worked it out and it is adequate for the job unless impacted in some way.
