[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 2228, member: 109"] [b]Tom, I've got a VinParts stand on....[/b] Hi Tom, My Series C has a VinParts D stand on it - although Russ laughed a bit when I sent him pictures as it has been fitted in an odd fashion!! You'll need a different pivot bearing spindle (FT33?) but if you have no lathe then Russ was good enough to spin me one up in the lathe. When I heard the bike had been fitted with it I made a mental note to restore it to original, or just have a centre stand - but to be honest it is so easy to use and so useful that I now wouldn't be without it - and at 44 I'm getting on a bit now................(find it difficult to bend my knees to get on the Duke!!!!) Despite being fitted incorrectly the only fault I've had is the nut on the right hand side fixing kept coming loose and before I got around to it it dropped off on a trip (actually like quite a few other bits) and so I keep Russ busy with ordering new shiny bits to replace the ones that fall off. Luckily the head of the bolt is trapped as it fouls against the exhaust as it trys to work its way free and head for the tarmac. Do remember to 'lock' the handle into the travelling position before riding off. (Hint Russ - I haven't ordered the replacement nut yet!!) It happily clears the electric start too just fyi.
