I’ll be watching for photos of your “repaired” center stand. Like you, my welds are ugly, but grinding skills have vastly improved trying to clean up the pigeon poop. Thanks for your help.

Re Reynolds ride-off stand. Identified the hopefully ”correct” R360 in one of Snowbum’s postings. Searched eBay with no luck, put an ad in ABC forum, finally started emailing “parts guys” listed in the ABC directory. Re-Psycle in OH had one. Very nice of Reynolds to stamp a model number on the stand. Unfortunately will not be able to install for several months, but will report if all is not well. Thanks for the help.
