[QUOTE="davidd, post: 95684, member: 1177"] Corey, Yes, it does matter. The chain is on the opposite side to the twin and the Comet was designed to work with the lifting handle turned around. Regarding the fit of the rear flap to the fender, I suspect it is simply how the previous owner drilled the holes. Getting the mudguards into the right shape can take hours. I think he rushed it, although it is possible that the mudguards were cut incorrectly. This is a bike I built and I spent a long time on the mudguards. [ATTACH=full]22210[/ATTACH] Here is a photo of the same bike with the stand up: [ATTACH=full]22211[/ATTACH] I don't think I would worry about it until you had a reason to remove those items. Your stand looks home made. I see a chunk taken out of it just under the brake arm and you have no diagonal stiffeners on the bottom wrung. I think it is likely that it is not the right length. That alone may solve the problem. I might look around for another stand or see if Mike Breeding has the castings. Those look like San Remo rims! David [/QUOTE]
