[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 96330, member: 485"] Hello Jerry, Looks like a Dave Hills stand from UK, Many people are very happy with them, But they need adjusting to each Bike, When you order one from Dave, You have to tell him what your setup is and he makes it as close as he can. You may be able to screw the fittings in a bit on the rear spring boxes, That would lift the wheel a bit. As you have found, Any change to the bike can alter how high or low the bike rides. So many different types of tyres can be fitted, Depends how fast you ride, And how much you want to lean the bike over, It's what ever suits you.. The "C" Comet had a 19" on the rear and a 20" on the front. The "D" s had an 18" on the rear and a 19" on the front. They all work !!, Some better than others. I have an 18" on the back of my "C" Twin With a WM3 rim and 19" on the front WM2 rim. Cheers Bill. [/QUOTE]
