You might have to do a little work as it is designed to nestle
between the chainstays. But these are smooth and easy rolling
generators, I don't even notice that mine is engaged except for the
light output.
Oh, right. So the kickstand plate in this case is a negative, because
the Sanyo has those contours to snuggle up between the stays. I
forgot about that.
Well, you still might be able to get it to mount readily enough
through one of the holes on the kickstand plate. There's a 6 mm bolt
for mounting the generator that would be oriented properly for this,
assuming the hole is in the right place (you might have to drill or
elongate an existing hole.
Since I never use a kickstand, I think the presence of a kickstand
plate is a detriment no matter what. Although some of that is just
my elderly years and the association of those plates with crappy
department store bikes from the 1970s. It's not a fair comparison,
of course, given the fine quality of Riv products but I can't quite
get over it.
