Come on guy's

I know this has been requested in the near past & Freebird had quit making them.

Remember, it's for some deserving kids.

I am donating my cost when I bought this stand.

More than 1 of you must want it. That's what makes an auction exiting.

My wonderful wife just put in a bid for my Christmas Present.

I've been wanting to put a center. Stand on since I bought my RSV. Don't know why they're. not standard equipment. I'm glad the $ is going to the Hospital.

Dingy and Dave3's wife have kick started next years fund raising for St. Jude Children's Hospital. Thanks to both. I will be doing shirts, hats, and pins for St. Jude soon.:thumbsup:

Dingy,

I received the stand the other day. I had time to install it yesterday, it went on easy.

I tried to lift the bike, but it wouldn't go all the way. I think the front brackets are squeezing the stand. The stand doesn't move freely without the spring.

Is it possible that the front brackets should be mounted to the inside of the stand bracket instead of the way it came to me. Did you have the stand mounted in this configuration?

Dave,

 

I never had this on a bike. I have a 1st gen.

 

I got this from a member here earlier this year. I knew Freebird had been making them, but quit doing it. I got this one to see if it was something I wanted to persue making, but then I decided not to.

 

Don (Freebird) looked at pictures I had taken and thought it was an intact stand with a set of extra brackets for it. He did not indicate if it was one he had built.

 

1st option would be to confirm it was installed per the thread below.

I hope Don will see this and offer and suggestions he may have, or send him a PM.

 

I attached some of the pictures I took of this so maybe other members that have one can help. One of the pictures is from the install thread showing the mounting closeup.

I did notice in the install pics, that it looks like the front brackets are on the inside and the back bracket is wide enough to be on the outside of the stand.

[Dave3]

I took the stand off the bike and reversed the front brackets from the outside to the inside, put the stand back on and it works like a charm. Of course I had to use the thick of rolling the rear wheel up on a 2x4 to get more leverage.

Thanks again.
