That's interesting. A UK division. And no connection to the Norman Hyde centerstand. Hmmmmm... Looks exactly the same... 
I agree It does look like the Hyde stand and so does the grab handle, but he says there's no affiliation; I believe the statement was "he does his thing, and we do ours".
I found that grinding .100" off the .397 dia stop pins, making a flat that is perpendicular to the welded brace gusset, makes the stand stop at 15 degrees to the ground forward of the pivot point with the flat essentially parallel to the bottom of the frame. It took a pretty good oomph to roll it off the stand so I think this is the way it was intended to fit. 
The stands' foot pads were sitting on their back edges at this angle, though, so I took it off and whacked them with a hammer to bend the edges up a bit; the new paint is drying as I type. I think it will work fine as soon as I get the rubber bumper stop from Dave that someone forgot to include and for which he profusely apologized.
