TracyPrier Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hi all I am sure I remember seeing a thread on here some time ago about the rear-facing "leg" of the RT centrestand breaking at the join. I seem to remember that someone who had this fixed also added a "web" to strengthen it. I don't suppose anyone knows who it was or if there are any photos floating around of this "fix". Yes you guessed it, mine broke off, happily it was in the garage and the bike was stopped on it's downward journey by the wooden post near the right rear bag/crash bar...PHEW!!! Appreciate any help with this Tracy Link to comment
ednap Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I think this is the thread you are looking for http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/699468/page/0/fpart/1/vc/1 Link to comment
TracyPrier Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Thanks but not quite, that thread deals with the sidestand, not the centre, thanks anyway. Link to comment
ednap Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Sorry Tracy, you are right. The only other one I found is... http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB1&Number=709751 Original post is by Bluepassat on 07/07/06 but there is a reply posted by Dances_With_Weiner_Dogs who makes reference to a repair made to the centre (centre) stand involving cutting off the foot tang and inserting a solid rod. Cheers. Link to comment
TracyPrier Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Thanks Ed, I'll go ahead and do that and see about adding a web too... really don't want this to happen again! Thanks Tracy Link to comment
