Is this the 3/4 by 20tpi hole referred to in KTB? if so supposedly it was for an anti roll bar for a special sidecar never made . However I think it was for the pegs for the modern 1990+ paddock stands. Truly PEI was a future thinker...
If you regard, that a Black Lightning does not have prop stands nor a main stand for saving weight, 2 nice aluminium bolts make sense in these holes for a
paddok stand, whose weight remains in the paddocks during race.

Once at Lydden the paddock stand nearly joined Ben for the race, the gate opened and off went the pack leaving me prostrate on the floor one hand grabbing the end of the stand....
