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.
