Re: blackbird stand
It's about an inch longer give or take, but has a stupidly short prong compared with the Storm stand so needs to be modified for ease of use.macdee wrote:how much longer is the blackbird side stand than the vtr stand

Bit of grinding, bit of bending & a bit of welding later you can make something like this...

Which will give you much more to get your toe onto when you want to put it down.

The foot is identical in size IIRC. I'll have a proper measure up in length for you tomorrow.
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...

Re: blackbird stand
I am assuming it is longer but sticks out further as the stupid storm one has the bike almost vertical to start with?
Budget storm gradually on the road to spangliness.

the standard is then to short thus the need for the longer stand
i think a camel toe one inch thick would look silly
what do you men think

Re: blackbird stand
I better not find my X11 on its centre stand when I come to the next workshop day minus the side stand. 

Re: blackbird stand
There you go...

Measured from the centre of the pivot hole...
Storm stand is 21cm to the heel of the foot.
Blackbird stand is 25cm to the heel.
Storm prong is 8.5cm Blackbird is roughly 3-4 cm, it had a ball end like the Storm but that was ground off in the re-prong fabrication.
You'll also notice it has a slight bend at the top at the pivot end whereas the storm one is straight.
