Side stand
TrickyMicky:
Have just been out to garage and squatted crossed legs on the floor armed with a tape measure and protractor plus phone. My bike is absolutely bog standard, the length of the stand matches, and the angle from the horizontal plane is 40 degrees. I will attempt to load pics, but this is not my prime specialty! At first glance it does appear that your stand seems a touch too upright. PS
TrickyMicky:
Pics. Hopefully!!
TrickyMicky:
Try again

Thanks Gareth and Micky,
I think the wheels and forks etc. are standard but will have another look later today.
Thanks for the photos - I'll check the numbers and angle on mine and see if it makes any sense.
Cheers,
Andy

Update on the stand issue.
Laverda Dave very kindly came over with his really nice yellow 400 so we could compare the stand on mine with an original one and it does look like the stand lug has been re-welded.
Through the powdercoat it's hard to tell exactly what the repair / welding is like but everything seems sound and well done as far as can be seen, with the exception of the lug angle.
Really appreciate Dave's time and effort coming over so we could look at this - and great to have a good chat about bikes in general.
Think I'll just live with the rather upright bike for the time being while I crack on with other bits.
Cheers,
Andy
