[QUOTE="peterg, post: 8718, member: 446"] Howdy chaps, Between reviewing the photo archives here of various rallies wherein one sees many heavily laden machines hoisted onto various center stand configurations to avoid leaning said machine over on the more procarious perch of a sidestand on soft earth, and some photos of late wherein small stands are affixed to the back to the left hand foot rest plate, figured I'm mention this one. Most have probably seen Micheal Breeding's version at his site [URL="http://www.mikesindianparts.com/VINCENT%20PARTS.htm"]here[/URL] but not in use. It is provided with an extra long shaft and the foot unattached for the owner to cut to the length perfectly suiting their application and has plenty of range of accomodation. This is a 20/19 with the rear suspension adjusted to the lowest setting. Though his site mentions heating/bending the arm, might I suggest a better approach to avoid disturbing fulcrum relationships, especially in the deployed position. With plenty of casting material/strength, one can grind the boss's where they abutt the F118 to achieve the desired degree of sweep range. One can also affix the foot slightly tilted to the rear which both provides more ground clearance in the retracted position but also requires the machine to rise slightly - or wieght jack itself - if it attempts to roll off the deployed stand. This stand not only preserves stock appearance, but makes for a more stable "tripod" with its added length. [/QUOTE]
