sit on the stand right,it leans to one side with the other side of the stand
about an inch off the floor,does anyone know to any stand feet that could
be fitted,don't really want the ally type.thanks in advance

Sounds like either the nuts and bolts have come loose or holes have become worn and torn open....my advice would be to put scoot on engine stand if you have one and have a good look around under there...if the holes are knacked you can get a new fix kit with the small plates that help flatten the damaged hole and spread the weight load for the future...

Or you could get my mate Dan to nip it up if you get it dynoed like i did...Thanks Dan.. :mrgreen:

If your crossmember is all ok ie not bent or holes pulled thru and the stand feet are ok with roll pins in then what I do is weld 1/2" or so onto each leg to raise the front wheel and drill new holes for the pins.Sometimes the foot may catch on the exhaust so you may have to pull the leg out a bit.

Take the rear shock off and measure it center to center, i

for a series 3 it needs to be no more than 300mm, much longer and you will get the sort of trouble you describe. Mindyou, it would need to be a LOT longer.

bolts are tight,already have the plates fitted,will try bending
the stand in if not looks like welding a piece on each side,
thanks for the tips
