[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 145542, member: 3287"] In 1988 when I had to be out of the country for tax reasons I took Christine with me and nearly the whole wardrobe until she realised that we couldn't carry so much on a solo machine having offered to fit the sidecar, no way was she going in a sidecar. We reduced things to a manageable level and set off for France after visiting my mother in hospital having been fitted with her first hip replacement. Fourth of fifth day up through the Dadoyn and got back to our friends Farm I refitted my s/s seat supports to footrest plate as I had fitted them after my first TT in1966 then removed them a year later. She was suffering from the poor ride, I made a link to the original friction seat damper and left slack but at the 1995. international my hydraulic damper failed so hardened up the friction until Christchurch and fitted a new Koni in the cattle market before the John Britten talk with "the worlds fastest Indian" as a prop, great rally. So don't discard things that might come in useful at some point. Not normally seen with panniers on, the fixed paddock stand is so Christine can put it on the rear stand with me still aboard fully loaded with camping gear and the side stand I use when solo then release the rear stand on then put weight right leg which makes it stand upright then stand on the left strut and pull it upright. It's only a question of leverage. Thank goodness for the Dave Hills stand as I do have two in operation on my daughter & grand daughter machines.
