Not to wear out my welcome with a million questions, but my bike didn't have a side-stand when I bought it, and what's on there now is from another BSA with a higher frame. The stand is too long and while I can use it if I find the right spot, on normal level pavement it's very precarious. I figured it's too long by about half an inch, but before I have it cut apart and re-brazed as a shorter length after guessing what it should be, can anyone measure their side-stand and tell me what you discover?
Otherwise, I'd pay a fair price for an original stand appropriate to my machine if anyone has one handy.
