The side stands all look like afterthought, they do a better job of tripping you up than they do looking good

So one day I will have to find the proper '74/'75 stand. Mine works but is not correct. I use the centre stand the majority of the time anyway.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the TX650A and XS650B sidestands are made to clear the giant mufflers. For aftermarket mufflers, a late model sidestand does the job.
Aftermarket mufflers?
Unfortunately, the late model stand that mounts on the large round post won't fit up to an early model, they use a clevis type mount .....
It's a pity because I think the late stand is one of the nicest I've ever used. And after a few minor mods (grease fitting, slight extension, bigger foot), it's even better .....

Yes, they are the Commando mufflers, identified by 5T. They came with my bike when I bought it about 4 years ago. My aftermarket sidestand is ok, but I need to improve it's footprint on the ground.

The solution to getting it hot enough
Sausages from my dad's pigs too, taste great!
