[QUOTE="peterg, post: 8721, member: 446"] Howdy Alan J, I have two examples of the latter and their sidestand is the indestructible standard by which vintage heavy weight machine's legs are measured. Even Indian who distanced themselves from HD by using unique fasteners conceded and moved their side stand from aft of the motor - where our foot rest plate resides - to in front in 1948 and used a longer leg resulting in shallower angle of deployment and less loading of the foot. If you look closely at the North American Rally site [URL="http://www.vocrally08.com"]here[/URL], you can just barely make out a block on the sidestand of my Red Rap. It has 1.5 inches cut off a rubber mallet head anchored to it and only a marginal, if not nerve wracking, success. Besides being a bit springy, the stand is still too short and tripod effect bit unstable. After a decade of that...and some close calls, was relieved to discover this. [/QUOTE]
