CENTER STAND

I just bought a 1979 750 f with no center stand. I installed a used one that seems to be correct
according to all the pictures and diagrams, however in the up position, it makes contact with
the drive chain. Is there somthing that is supposed to keep the stand form rising too high?

Re: CENTER STAND

On my '77' f theres a bracket that helps hold up th 4 into 1 muff.
BUT also has a rubber boot that is the stop for my center stand,
Shinnyribs has a pic asking what it was for few weeks ago.

That keeps the chain tight, so, you do not need to adjust as often.

Re: CENTER STAND

I dont know much about the DOHCs but its likely the exhaust has been changed. If you look at my post "1978K", you will see a pic of how I made a bracket to fix the same issue. I have to give Tools the credit for my inspiration.
