Did you also purchase the chrome lifting handle, I purchased a oil filler cap and they sent me a few pages of products, there is a picture of it, but I can't imagine where exactly it bolts on, I think one end goes on the top shock mount. You may know I made my own centre stand and did not copy any previous center stands

however as I used "Trial and Error" as opposed to R&D it turned out a tad long. a lifting handle to compliment the block of wood I carry around to put the back TYRE on when deploying stand may help. At £14.99 it would cost me more to get one I made chromed.
The oil filler cap is dead on, the fins are perhaps a bit sharp at the edge, but I may polish it.
