fitted one I bought few days ago rather the put the rusty old original centre stand back on, anyway you could knock the scooter over with a feather, does anyone else have one? have I fitted it wrong? seems it can only go on the one way though, had to sit it back on a box for safety.

ive seen this before ,the brackets have a long end n a short one , either side the bend ,if not fitted short end forward the u shape stops on the stand rest on the bracket rather than the floor .making the stand vertical rather than tilted forwardish n easy for scoot to roll off . tho ive also had a stand that the stops where too wide an did the same,that was a chromy 1 ,but not twisted .just took a grinder too em n covered up the wounded chrome with wheel silver . havent run anybody over yet so nobodys noticed .

im gonna remove it, all ready with all the messing about with it, seems to have dented my new floor pan, the chrome leg should be shorter or have more of a bend on it, gonna have to clean up the original rusty stand for now as i need it on its feet.

If the floor has a small dent in it at the bolt mounting points then fit the stand strengthening plates you buy from Gran Sport, or maybe other suppliers now do them, they are stainless steel and give the floor a bit more strength and hide the dent, my p2 had a dent on floor probably due to previous owner sitting on it while on stand or riding it off stand, as well as butchering stand to fit sports exhaust. the plates look good and hide problems, loads of vespa owners use them, if you want a look give me a call, or i can txt you a pic.
I know you need them asap but worth doing.

I know you need them asap but worth doing. do the plates go on the top end or under the bike before you bolt the stand on? fair enough they give more strength but would the bike be more stable on the stand, keep running into stupid problems with my rebuild. |

There are 2 plates for each side of the tunnel, a smaller plate goes on top of floor, and a slightly bigger plate goes underneath floor before stand is fitted, so it is like double strenthening, and helps hide signs of damage to top of floor, the plates are for the bolt holes .
