Centerstand questions.
When installed the center stand fouls on the lower pivot gearbox stud nuts. I swapped the top bolt to see if it would allow the center stand to clear and the photos taken are in that configuration(which is not proper). It also did not allow the center stand to clear on the nut end.
The parts book calls out a stud, nuts and washers.
Is this the correct center stand?
Are the nuts, washers and stud used for the lower gearbox mount narrowed?

Also, there only seems to be one center stand stop, located on the right side, but the frame seems to have provisions for another stop in the left side.

Anyone have a photo of this installation?

Also, I will change those gearbox nuts, not sure how that slipped by.

The center stand looks correct, except I don't see a tang on the left side to lower it off its keeper spring.

sorry, don't have a decent picture of my center stand, just this one:

The lower stud should be a 7/16-26 x 4-3/4" P/N 02-4276. The nuts are 7/16-26, P/N 00002. My parts book shows no washers.

I would check the distance between the upper ends of the center stand - should be more than 4-3/4"

The center stand is 4 3/4" between the ears. The stud is longer, and the 02-4276 on the Walridge parts list is listed as 4 7/8" .
The issue has been resolved with a hammer. The ends of the center stand have been adjusted to clear and all seems satisfactory now.
Thanks for the help.
 
Hi.
I can see your center stands have both extensions welded.
As i wrote in current other topic, my center stand is short and doesnt touch the floor.
Have you welded the extensions or are they original?
How much are the extenions long?.
Thank you.

I am sure those extensions are from the factory. They are approximately 2 inches long. 48 to 50 mm.
All the G15 and N15's I have seen have those.
 
Yes, done at the factory.

the standard road bike had no extension.

My G80CS has the same basic stand with about a 1/2 inch extension pad welded to the feet.
