1972 BMW R75/5 - Center Stand Dimensions

Good morning and I trust everyone is staying safe these days.

I was wondering if anyone has the correct dimensions for the 1972 R 75/5 center stand. The reason I ask, I have just received my second used center stand where the seller said it will fit perfectly, but from the looks of things, its too short. So before I go a spend more money, would like to be armed with the dimensions or dimensional drawing.

Good morning and I trust everyone is staying safe these days.

When my 1973 LWB is on the center stand I measure 11 inch's from the floor to the center of the pivot bolt.
 
I recently saw a center stand on ebay that was advertised as being for a /6. It was actually for a later model and had the spring mounts in the wrong position.
If you bought that one then you may want to get back to the seller for a refund. As I remember, I sent the seller a note saying that it was not for a /6 but I guess he knew better than me.

Thank you for the response! No I bought it on the AirHead site and have been in contact with the seller and advised him that i will take everything apart to measure correctly. Pain where the sun don't shine, but what the heck in that I can't go anywhere during this health lockdown due to the pandemic.
