I concur with everything Phil just said here, George. I also had to do that same slight modification to the stand in order to make it work perfectly.
Now, I ride pretty "spiritedly" in the twisties, and I have scraped the stand's flat-sided deployment arm a few times while going around lefthand tight turns at speed, however from what I've heard from those who have the Rivco center stands, the rounded deployment arm on those scrape much earlier in those lefthander turns than do these made by TEC Bike.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the unit, and considering the low low price of it, would recommend it.
I agree on the good price, Dwight, and I even received a partial refund from Dave for my trouble.
I am thinking of adding hose clamps around the bottom frame members where the pins hit to slightly reduce stand's angle and make it easier to push off. One other thing I remembered was that the instructions seemed backwards on how the "top hat" bushings are installed "with the rim of the bushes to the inside." I found they fit on the outside of the stand between the stand and the frame to limit any sideways movement; maybe it was just my misunderstanding of the instructions wording.
