Yo bigtrev: seems like a reasonable fix, but sadly I don't have a welder & can't weld anyway....
So - I was thinking of drilling the side stand bracket & fixing an adjustable stop made out of a piece of steel plate. Will keep you posted & do some photos.
Have MTC looked into this?
Merry Xmas to all - I have had rather a lot of a fine single malt her indoors bought me for a present, so apologies for the long post!!!!!!!!
