Hi folks,
I have an '82 SJ Heritage Special I'm slowly trying to change to a tracker-type of look. I'm in the middle of refurbishing the swinging arm, forks, and replacing the wheel rims, spokes & tyres. I bought it in September so I'm still finding my way around, and have ruthlessly mined this wonderful site for information since then. Thanks, guys!
Anyway, the centrestand is pretty shite and I've had to put some packing underneath to stop the tang (is that what you call it?) from hitting the floor before the left-hand foot. Unstable? You bet. It doesn't look bent to me but maybe it is ... before I work out how to make it work properly, is this typical? Or is it a case of 'they're all like that, sir'? Or have I missed something?
Here's some pics.
