Dude, it is the easiest bike I've ever owned to put on the centersatand. You
put the stand down, then put your foot on the very end of the "hook", and
push down with your body weight, It should roll right up. I can even do it
is showershoes, it goes up so easy. If it doesn't, you might have a bent
stand, but it should roll on that curve very easily

Subject: Question and stuff for sale prior to putting on E-Bay (Long)
| Since my newly acquired Ambassador is a first 'loopframe' for me I |
| would like to ask one question? How in the heck can you put it on the centerstand? Is there a trick that is learned? Do I need a 'Charles Atlas' course? My buddy and I were on both sides and we couldn't get it on the stand. It looks like it has never even been on the stand as the casting |
| are untouched and the paint is not scraped at all. Now I know why the |
| owner put a 'ride-off' stand also on it. Speaking of ride-off stands, it |
| a number of other things acquired with the bike will be going up to bid in the near future. Anyone with any interest in any of this stuff E-mail me privately and we can talk about it. I figure better to offer it up to you guys who might be looking for something. What I have is as follows: 1) Windjammer II fairing with mounts for a loopframe. White with red/black tape pinstripes. Good condition. 2) Wixom Ranger Bags and Top case. White with red/black paint pinstripes and mounts. Bags have the rails and those elusive Lucas reflectors on |
| The top case has the rails on top and a backrest. I have the keys. Good condition. 3) Luggage Rack to mount above top case. Chrome is in not great shape but |
| come back with some elbow grease. I haven't tried. 4) Fiamm Two trumpet Air horn with compressor and brackets to fit |
| Wires were disconnected when purchased so I don't know if it works but am going to test. Might polish up nice. 5) Weird old Harley Davidson mirror mount. Attaches to mounts on Bar |
| and bars. Has four mirrors on it. Two standard rectangle Harley mirrors |
| two round ones with stick-on concave mirrors. The mirrors do not detach |
| unit. Chrome in real good shape. Work good but look real strange without a fairing to hide behind. 6) Spare four speed transmission. Don't know condition internally. I may |
| apart to see and may just keep for spares. 7) Ride-off stand set up to fit loopframes. Works good if you don't mind |
| looks. Chrome not so hot condition. Not sure what any of this is worth. The bags may be best thing here and my wife is mentioning that I should keep them for times we may travel |
| (I can travel real light by myself). I have scans of the bike with the stuff on it but you cannot tell much |
| condition. I will photo nicely if I put on Ebay. Anyway if interested in any of this stuff e-mail me and we can talk @ rzink-@aol.com or rzi-@co.alameda.ca.us Otherwise you will see it on Ebay. ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A The Email You Want.http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics |
