    Damn Centrestand!!!

    I think im getting weaker ..... Took me almost 10 minutes to get the bike onto the motormover to put the bike away on Friday.

    In the end, I had to ride the bike onto some bricks and use the extra height to get the bike onto the stand.
    Time to modify it

    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    centre stand

    I had the same problem resolved it by 1, lowering the suspension 2, shortening the stand to 320mm 3, improve the rockers and the foot lever
