Hi all
My 1973 850 Commando scrapes its centrestand all too readily when going round a left-hand bend. I think the tang on the stand is at exactly the right angle to reduce ground clearance and exactly the wrong angle to help you get the bike onto the stand.
I know that one solution is to slow down, but has anyone found a different stand, or modified the existing one, to help cure this problem?
Thanks
Ed

Oops, bit of inadequate examination and jumping to conclusions. It's the sidestand touching down. A cable tie has provided a temporary cure, but I think it may need a new spring and/or shortening the toe tag.

Will a MKIII stand fit, I think they are different. I saw a very late MK III the other day with a big tang sticking out from under the silencer, I have never seen that style before on the MKIII, so assume that their are different styles available, check out the parts lists on ANIL website.
