Making a stand

... I wonder if Bob Roller can remember when his bike was new.

Ouch! That's gotta hurt, eh, Bob?  [smiley=ROTFLMAO.gif]

From one geezer to another,

I'm sure Bob can remember 30 years back but will he remember that bit of detail.

I obviously can't remember yesterday because I got it wrong. My bike sits on the front wheel after the repair when it used to sit on the back.

Many of us are old geezers here abouts or knocking on that door.

With the bike on the stand, the front should be in the air a couple inches. Of course, if the balance is off, the rear will be in the air instead. :-)

I did the same with my 84 R100 - left the repair a bit proud with the idea it would eventually settle a bit. Took a long time, but now it doesn't come off the stand by itself. For a long time I strapped the stand to the header cross over just to make sure it didn't come down on its own.
