[QUOTE="Andys998, post: 163963, member: 428"] Hi Peter, I've done exactly the same as you. I fitted a short version of the Rob Staley AVO rear coil over shock to my Open 'D' with a standard centre stand. The rear wheel was about 2 1/2 inches off the ground. To work out the right stand length I did the following. If you can imagine the stand is the hypotenuse of a triangle with a straight line from the stand pivot point to the ground as the opposite side. Measure the distance from that vertical line to the stand foot and then you can reduce the vertical height and calculate what the ideal stand length ( hypotenuse) should be. If that is confusing - PM me a telephone number and I'll talk you through it. Cheers Andy [/QUOTE]
