Powder coat is fine, BUT you have to remove it from any adjoining surfaces, and especially area that provide a ground! Too many people forget to do this. Keep the videos coming, love to watch them and hope to be doing the same thing when I retire in 10 years!

Thanks for watching! But please start thinking now about a retirement activity that could be more fun, less tiring, cleaner, less stressful, more interesting, such as painting, pottery, knitting, writing books on brain surgery, or crocheting tea cozies. Something that could actually be profitable. Just say'n. (Humor!)

Speedometer note: There is a FaceBook group for vintage Brit bikes with 30K+ members. I posted a note about or speedo problem and asked for advice from anyone who had mounted one successfully. Not one single response, comment or advice. Interesting.

There is nothing wrong with Powder coat. You need a good powder coater. I use it on all my restorations and it has never been a problem and looks great when done. In fact, if you put it next to one of my original paint bikes, you can't tell which one is paint versus powder coat. Sometimes you need to remove it from tight tolerance surfaces but I've had to do that with paint at times too.

I really don't see the point of electronic speedometer & tachometer, as they both still have cables anyway. If my old mechanical cables ever (rarely) broke, the dealer made one up over the counter right away, from a large coil. Good luck sourcing a new one though.

Nothing wrong with powder coat and not issue here. Basically that stand is clamped tight by the two bolts. According to the parts diagram it should have two nuts per side the extras to hold the first in a not so tight setting then the stand will swing. You may need to replace the spring if that one is old and tired. Keep’um comin’

Sorry to disagree but the centerstand swings on inserts that are slightly wider than the engine plates. (Group 13, #50, 51, 52, 53, 55.) Bolts are to be fully tightened. Good suggestion on the spring though. This one is new. Ride Safe! Thanks for watching.
