[QUOTE="rapcom, post: 27938, member: 191"] The front stands on Vincents can be made to work perfectly satisfactorily by following the mod in Page 33, MPH 352, May 1978, by Bert Weisz. In short, you alter the pivot angles of the prop stand legs by 10 degrees from the vertical, by machining off the lugs on FT118 and replacing them with turned new ones, solidly welded to the main casting. Build up the weld copiously, and grind/file it back to the desired angle, because the position of the legs (both up and down) will be dictated by the weld acting as a stop to the movement. I have done this mod to two machines, single and twin, and it transforms the stands to the functionality that they should have had all along. Use of both stands together to lift the front of the machine is not affected. Ducvelo, if you don't have that MPH, I can send you the drawing, or you can find it in 40 Years On. [/QUOTE]
