Rigid frame rearstand

[Paul Slootheer]

Looking for a descent rearstand for a rigid frame…
Any one?

[nevhunter]

Don't they vary in shape depending on what exhaust system is fitted ? Nev

[Roger Gwynn]

No but there is a difference if a QD wheel is fitted, I don't know what the difference is and I think it was for 1 year only.

[Paul Slootheer]

Apart from the differences Roger did mention there where no variations (as far as I know…) Draganfly made nice replica’s, but they are out of stock for quite some time…
My rearwheel is just the ‘plain’ fixed hub type.

[nevhunter]

Roger. that is not what I've found.With upswept pipes it does not Matter but with the Power Pipes. the stand is shaped to clear the Pipes when down. Nev

[Roger Gwynn]

The stands are 1926-27, 1928, 1930-35, 1936-55 plus others for Colts, Slopers and plunger models. For 1935 only there was a different stand listed for QD wheel models but as it was not listed for 1936 it is assumed that the standard stand was OK. When the 1936 stand was introduced many bikes had twin pipes and this stand is shaped to fit all. The left silencer is held away from the frame by an extension on the stand pivot bolt 5505-36 thus providing clearance for the stand.
The cost of castings has increased dramatically in recent years and given the usual problems with suppliers Draganfly have been testing a fabricated version of the plunger rear stand. This has proved successful not only in terms of manufacture but also aesthetics. The rear stand will be next and I hope it won't be long as I need one!

Paul, did you ask Karol ?
I got mine from Denmark but it turned out to be one from Karol.
Only difference I know is a plunger one has the spring on the nearside and a rigid one on the.....ehhhh, other side .

[Roger Gwynn]

Different shape of leg as well. The plunger one is stronger

I have the one from Karol. I don’t know what version it is but it’s fine on my 37 VH. The only thing is that it was touching the brake cam nut but with a washer between the frame and the stand m it is ok now. Otherwise it’s quality build. Even the casting numbers are there.

[Paul Slootheer]

Ok, thanks for the info, I will try Karol!
