[QUOTE="oexing, post: 169591, member: 1493"] The photo is from our Clubman, I got the mainstand idea from the 1934 Guzzi. I have not decided on the shape of a good stand for the Vincent so one has to see where to go with the curved feet. On the Guzzi they go outside of exhaust, on the 600cc Horex just inside the pipes, see photos. I´d think you can find a place on the Vincent. The feet are made of a fat curved ss plate and another length welded all along the corners of the curved part. Try to have the last bit parallel to the ground for good support on soft ground - and no nicks on your garage floor as well - unlike the Hills type. For shapes I did not think of having the Hills type at all as quite likely you have to find a new design anyway to fit . But it is worthwhile definitely with the roll-on effect of the curved feet. Best to see with a cardboard on a piece of paper for shapes when lowering the stand to first contact and then along a steady climb when rolling back to your desired stand height, with stand a bit more to the front for safe parking. Actually the Honda stand got a bit very light weight but still allright and it does not have to go very high when up, depends on where the feet end from centerline for lean. Well, at 70 , lean is a lot less dramatic than in younger times - was never then with me no racer personality, always too worried about ruining myself or more so the bike .
