Check that the center stand (foot graver?) the metal "U"shape tube that runs under the muffler wont touch if you misalign the center stand.

If I had a similar problem I would probably open the hinge a little and insert a new tube (hinge bushing or pipe bursting) and fill the corner to cover the erosion.

How bad is it? Please post a picture.

Due to financial issues I had to reorganize my projects and postpone the new and beautiful R26 head option for a latter date. “Thanks Carl”. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50492959517_ba74f5fb7b_c.jpg With not much to lose and no financially feasible options, I took a chance and sent the old he...
