[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 138554, member: 3287"] Michael's idea is the best so fare, when doing my daughters red Rap it came just right from Dave H but I welded a stopper so it only "just" went over center and fitted a sprung loaded locking pin so it couldn't be bushed off the stand. The bike can be put onto the stand easily with out getting off it even with a passenger up behind you. I'm still using my rear stand on my "B" Rap as it's been made like a paddock stand but when on it the front stopper does not touch the rear lug so no stress is applied for opening up the wheel spindle fork. Parking. The side stand is deployed which has a long leg and a 3" diameter pad on it that can sit on a very soft surface. Dismounted the rear stand is released it falls to the ground one sided, standing on the second higher leg, weight is applied bringing the bike upright, standing on the second leg the leverage is very good that it's easy to pull on the lifting handle or pannier cradle and park the bike with little fuss, with Christine with me I stay seated on the bike and she parks me and loaded with camping gear easily. BANANAMAN. Side stand from pivot SPINDLE TO BEYOND REAR WHEEL SPINDLE. [ATTACH type="full"]41838[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
