XBR500 Predator pipe question...

[pigafetta]

Hiya

I've had a Predator on my XBR since I got it. It's never had a stop fitted for the centre stand though. When you flip the stand up it just sort of hangs and flaps about a bit. If you push it up or go over a big bump or whatever, the stand bounces up and clacks against the torque arm. It's not really a big problem but it's not ideal. I've just popped the stand off for a cleanup and a coat of paint so I thought I'd get round to cobbling up some sort of stopper for it. I was just wondering what the genuine Predator one was like and where it's fitted etc. Anybody got one they could describe to me or even post a photo up, please?

Thanks,
Dave B

I will ask father in law- also does Kirriepete have one on his?

KirriePete has swapped his for a robust Vtwin, but we know where his heart is really. He just needs to accomodate himself and his dearly beloved on a more commodious form of 2 wheeled transport, so that domestic harmony reigns. I'm sure he'll be along soon with some pearls of wisdom if they are to be had. Tay freshwater ones, of course! 

Rattled your windows on Tuesday night Pete, but it was late, so I didn't stop by. ("Thank goodness" he say!)
