937 headstock stand

Mr Gazza · Today, 04:15 PM

Just to bring tis up to date; I took an oversized pin to my mate this morning and he turned it down to a snug fit fit in my stem while I waited.
The result is much more successful than I hoped for.
By making a pin fit properly, the arm retains the correct geometry it was designed for and clears the headlamp by a good margin.
Just looking at pictures of the 937, I think the headlamp on my bike sits lower in relation to the bottom yoke than on the 937.

I do have to take my front mudguard off to get the stand in place, but it's a very wide and flat design. Note to motorcycle designers; we need longer mudguards behind the forks not wider ones!)

So certainly a Constands 5 pin front stand is going to work, provided you get a pin to fit snugly, either by turning one down to suit or buying a suitable one.
