NWS stand problem - SV650.org

Hi

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

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

Btw K4 Pointy full fairing

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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