[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 120910, member: 3287"] My rear stand has had a little modification for older age and putting a very loaded Vincent onto the rear stand my wife can with me still aboard ! Now into her eighties but we haven't been two up for over a year as I've deteriorated strength wise but she is still pushing wheel barrels full of compost about a steep garden. Panniers removed which is also very easy, 4 "R" pins and the small multy pin plug, slides off and can be used as a pic-nic table sitting on low paniers eating off the high with stove on s/s top box area. the stand is droped then stand on the two legs in the air and pull on the rack itself or lifting handle. Also when the stand is down it can be a little trikky / aukward to release the torque arm clips as it's behind the stand top lug, so I flattened the finger hook back and fitted a leather finger pull (much easier and comfortable) the torque arm is easier to pull out sidways, another added advantage is when the rear legs of the stand hit the ground the top lug does not touch the rear lug of the RFM (storey's of the spindle fork opening out after years of starting on the stand). I have noticed another from Scandinavia with a similar stand. bananaman. TouringComet says it looks good in the garage on rear stand, I think "As" look even better as the ass end is about 5"off the ground. Now to get a loaded "A" twin onto the R stand on my own on the Dover ferry I did the Indian trick of side stand down release rear bungy at lower end of stand up to foot rest hanger and lean bike over till stand is sprung forward. It did bend the stand ! Two days later later on the Autobaun front wheel puncture I reversed at speed then step the stand down and the momentum raised it up. with out those rear stands life would have been more difficult. The next system will be a Dave Hills set up with short legs so the bike is just suported for normal parking with it slightly over centre and pined into position, my daughters red Rap is like this and can be parked very easily with "er" on the back and still astride the bike. then the next stage is to have hydraulic legs to actually lift the wheel off the ground for turning or removal but it will also compensate if parking on a camber the legs will vary and then locked off cocks will keep it there. Not cripped enough yet to bring it into use. But getting close. doesn't it go on ! [ATTACH type="full"]34876[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
