Andy,
I was under the impression that the 16" tires were about the same size
OD as the 18" tires account of the 16" being fatter, am I mistaken,
won't be the first time. (:<>

With my Ambo being converted to 16" rims, I have to use a floor jack to get
the bike on the center stand. I don't even leave the stand on the bike, I
only replace it temporarily to do work on it. I'm glad to see I'm not the
only one ;-)

Phew. It's rather encouraging to hear I'm not the only one who has had a
problem with this center stand stuff. I was beginning to have serious
doubts about myself.

Hi Richard,
I couldn't resist I haven't figured out the trick yet, so I use a
floor
jack to get the damn thing in the air and pull the stand down. I
figured I
would use the side stand in public :-)

Hi Richard,
It is also helpful if you have saddlebags to push rearward with

your leg.

Lubricate the pivot bolts to make sure the centerstand works

smoothly.

Hi Richard,

I struggled with my stand for a while and I got so tired of

calling to
the

girlfriend to help me pull it on the centerstand....kind of

embarrasing
in

public you know :-)

I finallly figured the trick.

Step on the very bottom (back) of the stand. The part that

touches the

ground. If you do that, get a good grip on the crash bars and

get your

weight right the bike should roll up on the stand fairly easily.

Regards....Ian

Since my newly acquired Ambassador is a first 'loopframe'

for me I
just

would like to ask one question? How in the heck can you put it

on the

centerstand? Is there a trick that is learned?
