Getting cb750k on centre stand

<< < (2/8) > >>

No it's definatly a struggle. Almost pulls my arm out of the socket. It certainly won't get any lighter or easier as time marches on and when it's sat on the side stand it's bordering vertical which never looks safe !. A slight rock and huge effort to lift gets it there eventually - in 10 years time it will be a different story.

When I got my US ko obviously a large previous owner had been sitting/kick starting on the main stand
this had bent the stop bar meaning the  stand went way too far over vertical, I had a 16 " wheel on the back and both wheels were touching the ground.
When on the stand the rear wheel should be clear of the ground .
I did a total rebuild on mine so had stop plates welded on the stand stop bar .
Can you do a side on photo of the stand  ,that should be able to give a clue.

It's harder in flip-flops

Real men don't wear flip flops  :P

I don't know what my dads been doing to my bikes but he's managed to brake the glue bond on the left hand grips on two of them. He didn't tell me with the 550 and when I put it away it made me sweat somewhat as it slid off in my hand with the bike in limbo not on the stand and not off it.
