Quad-D guys: Bike stand???

[Guest jedione68]

Hello Guzzi's,

 

Real quick.

 

I have left the world of Mistrals and cross-overs and now am

100% a Quad-D guy (on v11's that is).

And I cant tell you fellow Quads or none Quads how happy I am.

 

But... My trusted "Moto Guzzi v11sport factory bike-stand" is now

kind of useless. And I love this stand for maintence of oil changes,

valve adjustments and or just good old weekend tear downs.

 

And now life with a Quad means I have a dust covered, pretty much

useless bike stand (stand hits the Quad to all none Quad Guzzist).

 

Any idea's out there? I was thinking of having one of my Machinest buddies

lower the cross-over support beam on the stand... but what if inturn the

top (pork-chop holders) now flex's to much. And in turn, the bike comes

tumbling down like Humpty-Dumpty?

 

I'm all ear's.

 

Peace, rubber side down.

I think you would find that the "ABBA" stand which picks up on the swingarm pivots will work fine with the Quat-D exhaust fitted.

 

It has a similar action to the Guzzi stand. I'm sure you can find a Guzzisti on here who wants to buy your redundant Guzzi stand, and the ABBA isn't wildly expensive.

here you can see how I did it.
