After installing the stand and springs I used a bottle jack to lift up the bike so that I could test the full range of motion on my rebuilt center stand from a 1976 R90/6. I’m glad I did this test because I discovered the stand won’t work on my bike despite checking and cross checking BMW part numbers.
The problem is the top cross bar. It clears the oil pan well enough, but not the drain plug. Not even close. Bummer.
With the factory stand option removed, I’m going to re-install the Reynold’s stand.
