[QUOTE="Paul Ennis, post: 39816, member: 927"] Craig, With the propstand pivots angled at 10º, when you use them as a front stand to remove the front wheel they splay out too far. My solution was to make those two pegs that fit into the magneto cowl fixing slots and provide stops that keep the stand in an effective position. They reside in the tool tray until needed. The story of the casting is that a Coventry section member had a pattern made and produced two stand brackets in alloy for his and his son's bikes. The machining involved prevented the project from becoming a semi-commercial venture, but he did have another bronze casting available which I aquired and machined as per the photograph. Cheers, Paul. [/QUOTE]
