[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 4653, member: 456"] Hi Folks. I think the talk of fitting a DH centre stand in one hour (or less!) is counterproductive. Most people will not fit this type of stand in less than about half a day and will feel let down or inadequate when they fail to break the one hour figure. What took me longest was progressively cutting back the stop which works when the stand is in use to ensure that the bike is far enough up in the air for the back wheel not to touch but not so high that it can risk rolling forwards on a slope and falling over. Taking too much off at once can make the bike too low and so in my case I had the stand on and off at least six times until I had it at what I considered to be the best height. This is one of the best mods on a Vincent and transforms the ease with which the bike can be lifted on to its stand BUT be aware you are likely to take much more than one hour to fit it. :) [/QUOTE]
