Commando centre stand

Forums

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

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.

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.
