As the title...167 441 Victor R....when using the side stand the bike is almost vertical...doesn' t feel at all safe. About 10 inches long from pivot to tip, and no " prong" to reach it .
Hello David.. I've just measured the sidestand on my 1968 model B44 (Shooting Star) and the distance from pivot centre to lowest part of stand is 8 5/8". I believe mine to be correct dimensionally and the bike has a resonable lean when in use. HTH
EDIT!! I have just checked the parts book for 1967 Victor Special NOT Roadster and the part number is different 40-4737 which may mean a different length? Can you see the casting number on the stand?
Thanks Ian...I will have a look for a casting number....but yours looks right and mine doesn't.....so maybe a call to C&D....
