I got there eventually but ended up with to photos. The side stand is a proper job but not locking like a Harley Davidson so canot face down hill. must modifie it but tight for space with LH kickstart

Thank you everyone - that's all food for thought. I'm in a quandary now as I can't decide whether to go with Vibrac's toilet cistern float solution or to fabricate a reverse banana homage.:)

On third thoughts I'm going to start with a fresh block of wood and work towards having an extension welded to the bottom.
You did make me realise that I haven't taken any photos of the right side of my bike! Here's a few from before I repainted the tank:

Toilet cistern! That's a carefully crafted piece of nylon bar :) if it works well I may extend the leg with an insert. On the other hand it's my hooligan bike so I shall probably ride it on a wrinkly ride or two to show the younger guys (65+) on 25 year old electric starts how a 1935 ohc goes.. they think my comet is old huh!
