[QUOTE="Chrish, post: 32698, member: 188"] "Chris, how do the longer stands work when wanting to raise the front wheel? I had no problems with standard C stands on my B with a 20" front and it was still easy to rock the bike over centre on the rear stand and engage the front stands (does that make sense?). With a 21" front the C stands still work but the angle can get alarming on a steep camber, hence the use of the Videan stand. " Alyn, the only time I had the longer stand down, to prop the front wheel (21"), was when I fitted them, just to see the action of them, they are only marginally longer. When you get them they have to be fettle to get them to lie straight, unobtrusive, beneath the engine and get the prop action correct. I also have the Dave Hills center stand which i use most of the time. Chris [/QUOTE]
