I was out laying on the ground admiring the underside of my trusty Speedmaster on Sunday, while the wife drove in the driveway figuring I'd vapor locked and died next to my trusty steed. (Kinda wish she hadn't started dancing around screaming "Yee-hah, now I get the life insurance, and my boyfriend can move in" but anywho...
I was looking at those very hefty what have to be a place to put a center stand mounts, and figured for around $20, I could build me a right proper center stand. The engineering aspect that has me befuddled is how to set up the springs to hold it up in place. I need to see what a correct one looks like one of these days.
