Oops! Forgot to say it's a 1955 model, ie pre-featherbed.George,This is not going to be easy to find, I recognise these sidestands as I have a 1955 ES2 and an embryonic 1954 Model 7, which has a very similar (if not identical) leg. Even at autojumbles these are rare, so be prepared to quiz stallholders to see if they have any back at home.Best of luck, Philip

If it's anything like mine, it's a suicide stand. I never use it.

Thanks for that Philip. Bad news as I find it quite a struggle pulling it onto the centre stand. Has any one a view on the "universal" stands? GeorgeTry"VINTELE" prop stand,works on my 49 ES2.

Hi George,before you conde…
Hi George,before you condemn the stand to the bin an option is to weld it back to its original position.it is surprising what a reputable welder can achieve.he or she will prep the joint,bolt it together with the correct spacers(to stop distortion)and keep the reqd.clearance gap.if this is not possible a new end block could be made.like i say,a reputable welder.

Probably your best option and almost certainly more robust than a pattern cast item (if you can find one). Just for interest which version of the side stand do you have - attached to a bracket below the engine cradle or attached to the front engine mount? I find the one below the engine cradle less than stable, I have much more faith in the centre stand.

Ended up buying one from Norvil (!) who told me that it was incorrect to have a bolt through the top and it should have a pin held by circlips (despite the parts book showing a bolt with retaining nut). Anyway it's arrived and and it sort of fits. The pin is too large for the hole in the lug on the bracket and the stand sticks out awkwardly when at rest. It also points forwards quite a bit when in the down position. Nevertheless all these things are solvable. At £64.80 inc p& as against £340 on ebay I'll live with it. GeorgeAny chance of a picture George. I've always fancied a side stand for my ES2 but never seen one at a reasonable price.Ian

I wonder if the Norvil leg is intended for the bracket that sits below the engine cradle. This type is fitted to my '56 19S and is secured by a pin rather than a bolt.

George your latest thread…
George your latest thread regarding your side-stand and the trouble you were having with Norvil is here:
http://www.nortonownersclub.org/noc-chat/technical1-singles-forum/912608184
Now you've gone back to an earlier thread and away from the question that John Shorter posed on your latest. Now for anyone interested in your plight it has become broken up and hard to follow.
