400f side stand

Cheers Chris, but want to retain the overall look of my Dad's bike, so the pipes are a fundamental.

Brian G:
I'm a little late to the party, but I ran across a similar issue with my 'barn-find' '75. In my case, the sidestand was unusable as the bike sat 'over-centre' and would topple to the RH side.



A welder friend was able to minimize the damage by cutting out and re-welding the section but as I was unsure of the bracket angle necessary to allow the bike to rest at a reasonable attitude when parked, I'll have to wait and see how she sets with the wheels on during the rebuild  :P

Regards,

Pops400:
Sorry Brian, haven't checked in for ages so missed this.

Be interesting to see if it sits ok once done.

Anyone know the correct angle, as that's a good point and I don't have a point of reference?
