    New Owner, Problem with centerstand

It was the first major work I have done on the bike, so I took more parts off the bike than I had to. After getting everything back together, I think the work could be done...

    '71 R75/5 Center Stand Identification

    My bike appears to sit on what looks like an aftermarket center-stand. I must say I'm not terribly keen on it, and I'm starting to look around for a stockish replacement of the type that hold the front wheel off the ground, and that one can drive off. The current unit requires that the rider...
