Hello all,
I’m having great difficulty getting my bike onto the centre stand. It’s so difficult you end up hauling on the mudguard carrier rail. I know you shouldn’t do this as it bends it out of shape (mine was when I got it and I’ve now straightened it), and pulls it out of the securing bolt/nut.
I’ve read the posts here on how to do it but it’s still next door to impossible. I’m not new to classics and none of my others are like this. This is my first RE by the way.
When you do get her on the stand, the bike sits slightly to the right and the back wheel is firmly on the ground. She’s difficult to rock off the stand too.
I’m wondering if I’ve got the wrong stand on?
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.........Shaun.
