You got it installed yet? I'm anxious to hear about it and see pics. I emailed them (through ebay) if they had pics or why I should buy theirs instead of the Rivco or Norman Hyde, and price was about all they could tell me.



final update (I hope)

I received the missing rubber stop today and installed my modified stand with the stop pins ground .100 to form flats perpendicular to the brace gussets (photos below).

Taking .100 off the pin diameters set the stand at 15 degrees to the ground with the rear tire just off the ground when my bike is on the center stand, and it takes a healthy push to roll it off the stand. I like the stability that gives, but others might want to try a bit less grinding and shoot for 10 degrees to leave more rear tire clearance. Also, at 15 degrees the end of the lever arm on the left side is also on the ground, so TEC may have intended 10 degrees rather than 15.

Here's a stop pin with ground flat after painting



Here's the bike on the modified stand

Right foot pad at 15 degrees (I did whack the back edge up a bit before painting)



Left foot pad on ground at 15 degrees (whacked it too)



Lever arm also on the ground at 15 degrees



I really like the stand after doing a little work to it. With my bike on the stand the rear wheel turns to work on the chain, I can check the oil level without fear of the bike getting away from me, and on rainy Saturdays I can sit in the bike shed on that nice Corbin seat, lean back, prop my feet up on the highway pegs, and imagine cruising down route 66 while listening to Car Talk on PBS.
