[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 161798, member: 2708"] I made a Hills type stand for the 49 c Rapide. The engine plates were aluminium so I just added on to them. Was planning to make the weld disappear but it turned out ok so I left it there for all the world to see. I had no problem with the aluminium stop but I kickstart the bike on its wheels only. One problem I used to have with the Hills stand on the 47 Rapide was parking the bike on a lawn or any soft material. The tiny feet would punch right in and the bike would sometimes fall over. I doubled or tripled the size of the feet and now it's sits on a lawn without punching in. [ATTACH type="full"]53002[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
