Hi all

does any one know if there's a longer centre stand that will fit on my C15F? It's about an inch short due to me fitting longer rear shocks, I know I could extend the one I have by welding a piece in either leg, or adding to the feet but just wondered if there's a longer one that just bolts on.
thanks

just to add the angle is fine and not leaning to far forward

I'll be removing the centre stand from my 1969 Starfire frame as I'm fitting a sidecar. The rear wheel is about 3" off the deck when on it (which needs a hefty pull). You're welcome to it for the price of postage and a pint, but it will be a couple of weeks before I take it off.

Hi Iansoady many thanks for the offer sir,  will that centre stand fit the C15?

Can't guarantee it but as far as I know the mountings are the same for the C15 and my slightly later frame. Others with more knowledge may chip in?

The B40 stand is longer than the C15 one to make up for the 18" wheels (C15 on 17"??)

I could give you a rough measurement from the pivot centre to the foot if that helps. My bike has 18" wheels.

my C15 frame lugs - as best as I can  - are 14mm apart (where the stand goes in to)

It's about 9.5 - 10". Hard to measure exactly. I'll be taking it off before Christmas hopefully.
