Title: Center stand
Post by: tonytiger on November 15, 2017, 07:28:42 PM
Hello does anyone know if there's a shorter centre stand for the steamer or a way to cut a piece out and weld a sleave on the origonal stand. I,ve started the big strip down but had to promise I will not spend all day in my shed. :5moped

Gday. I reckon you are already on to it. Cut, sleeve, away you go. If you know a good welder you cannot go wrong. He will get it straight away. My only input would be to say "have a look at how the stand sits now". This is because my stand is a bit wonky. The poor old thing leans to the right. No big deal, for sure, but if I were to cut mine it would be adjusted. Good luck with everything.

Have you lowered the suspension? Both the genuine (which rumor has it were made by Hepco Becker) and SW Motech stands seemed to be a tad shorter on the right side.

Agreed, mine too...Try 'slugging' i.e. using strengthening on the inside of the tubes as this would look neater and allow a longer/solid 'slug' - so stronger and less welding.
