NWS stand problem
 

Hi

Just got one of these nifty pieces of kit, however, just tried to use it, and it fouls the brake pedal :smt013

Any one had this problem and solved it? Or am i going to be the first?

Btw K4 Pointy full fairing

Re: NWS stand problem
 

Same.
I used to get a plank of laminate flooring (i.e. any thin plank) to guide the brake pedal inside the stand.
Now I've got an ever so slightly bent heel plate I don't think it fouls anymore.

Re: NWS stand problem
 

Put a socket in the right hand swing arm recess*, then fit the NWS as normal, this spaces the lift out on the right and stops it hitting the pedal

*I've got an old 14mm socket that fits well, mine is an SV1000, your bike/sockets may be different sizes but I'm sure you'll work something out.

I dont have a problem on my SV, but thats prolly because i have rearsets.

Re: NWS stand problem
 

No, it's cos you've got a curvy. The hole in the swingarm pivot of the pointies is a much larger diameter, the tapered pin of the NWS thus goes much deeper into the hole and therefore the stand leg is close enough to the bike to foul the brake lever.
Putting a socket into the hole reduces it's diameter making the pin enter less and the stand leg is held further from the bike.

I don't have this problem but then I have a Abba stand.

Ahhh

Re: NWS stand problem
 

The NWS stand man made up a black plastic spacer for free once I told him the dimensions of the socket that I used

Re: NWS stand problem
 

i used a 12mm socket, fitted perfectly. thanks for the advice, you guys:grouphug:

i considered the abba, but it was the nws came up on ebay locally first :rolleyes:

Re: NWS stand problem
 

Oops you paid a lot of money for it - but they are hard to come by on ebay & should last forever apparently

Re: NWS stand problem
 

True, but then you require different adaptors for every bike, whereas the better NWS stand doesn't require any different fittings for most bikes, and when it does a socket will usually do the trick.

Buy an NWS.

Re: NWS stand problem
 

You mean there are bikes other then a SV?

Re: NWS stand problem
 

Yes there are Pointy Sv's

(different adapters I believe?)

Re: NWS stand problem
 

abba stands on ebay go for more than you can get them with our discount, I took into account i wasn't paying postage.

Twasn't a bargain, but it was still cheaper! (got the power handle too *wooo*)

Re: NWS stand problem
 

What's the power handle?
I've got the bit sticking out the front you stand on before you put the bit in the back to stop it going back down again.
It wouldn't work at all w/o the handle I use, is your Power handle longer than mine?
I'm only ickle and I have to stand on the handle & pull myself down using the R&G to lift my big heavy bike)

Re: NWS stand problem
 

Power handle is literally a handle of power!

It bolts onto the foot lever side in an upwards direction (its like a broom handle, but metal and powerful) and it enables you to lift massively heavy bikes with the extra leverage.

*has anyone notice the NWS website has gone?*

-probably because I bought one of their stands, :smt013

Re: NWS stand problem
 

I made this helpful thread a while back. Nobody noticed. :(:(:( ;)

They're being sold by a one man band operation.

In response to the original question, I was originally using a small steel ring of unknown origin that perfectly fitted inside the right hand side swing arm hole. This I promptly lost, probably by riding off with it still in. I replaced it with a suitably sized hex nut.

damn, that makes my stand a bit less of a bargain, hey ho, such is life
