Centre Stand
« on: March 23, 2020, 03:08:17 pm »
The Centre Stand just disappear from 'under' me when I parked the old lady in the garage a few minutes ago.

Have you seen this before; it happened to anyone else?

What would be the best - to weld it myself or to source a second hand stand from somewhere?

Is jy lief om op die pegs te staan en die bike af te wip van die stand as jy wegtrek?

Got the same problem with my GSA 1200ac last week.
The guy told me it is because I stand on the leg of the stand and do not do any lifting by hand on the bike.
Luckily he had an old pin of a BMW bike. Made it a little bit thinner, pushed it into both sides and welded it. 
Just image that part breaking of while riding.
So far no problem.
