Not a real problem. I just think the rear stand is awkward.
It is so easy to put the bike on the center stand, I'd really rather not use the rear.
I guess i am just lazy.

No, not lazy, just sensible, why take chances of putting your back out.
or dropping the bike!
I roll the Bike's rear wheel, Back onto an 1", Or thicker, Bit of wood to make it more easy.
My Back is another part of my body that is in trouble !.
Cheers Bill.

This AM fitted Avon SM 3.50 x 19 as direct replacement, it was notable how squishy the rubber was compared to the old.
Generally my 'weapon of choice' is the trusted TT100.
Quite happy with the past performance but wanted original look, would have considered a 4" section, do thEy make that in a 19"?
Don't forget to get your new tire scrubbed in and not in the wet unless you want to be doing 9 yard strides down the road: been there, done that 8o/

Brian, It's a bit wide for a Comet front ?. Cheers Bill.
sorry, I wasn't being clear, my rear is a 19" (ooh, matron! etc, etc)
the latter is in response to those who have pointed out previously that I have a sense of humour failure.

A 1" thick piece of wood is a better idea than welding on the center stand pads.
Thanks for the suggestion.
