[QUOTE="oexing, post: 146414, member: 1493"] I have never liked the feet of the Hills stand, not safe on soft ground and on hard place a struggle to get the thing onto the stand. Just no good design as on a lot of bikes with designers without a clue about geometry. The feet got to have a curved shape of feet like Guzzis had prewar - which I copied and designed with a little help of cardboard on a paper for getting the required stand height and smooth gaining of height while you shove the bike back. So no more the awkward heave in the beginning of the action but an easy smooth rolling back. So when thinking about fabricating a new stand, do some designwork before so as not to fall into same trap of miserable practicality. Vic Guzzi 1934 stand: [ATTACH type="full"]45337[/ATTACH] Modified Guzzi idea with parallel feet base: [ATTACH type="full"]45338[/ATTACH] Same idea for Honda Clubman: [ATTACH type="full"]45339[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
