Just installed a SW-Motech center stand on my 06 Girly. Installation was fast and easy. After completion I put the bike up on the center stand and noticed a slight lean to the right. I put a 1/2" piece of plywood under that side and raised the bike back up on stand. Perfectly level !!! This is my second stand from them (had one on my Wee Strom) and it did not have that problem. I was wundering if any of you had this stand installed and notice same problem. I will probably weld a small piece of metal to the base to correct the problem. Thanks

2004 Tiger. Black is beautiful. If I don\'t ride a little every day I get a little crazy.

Yunno, mine does too! I always thought mine did 'cos I cut'n'shut 2cm off each leg and must've screwed up.  :P

I wish you lot wouldn't keep posting things that make me go down to the garage to check....

.......  mine sits dead level as shown by a spirit level on the tank cap. I too have shortened it by exactly equal amounts on both sides. Maybe they were getting the stand right by the time they made mine (last of the spoked wheel bikes).
