For 30 years I rode this bike without and stands fitted because I ride this bike very hard in the corners and didn't want anything to scrape, everything on this featherbed is made to never scrape, pipes where made for the bike, foot pegs sit high, but after the last rebuild I put on a bolt on side stand, so far it hasn't scraped at all.

With older long roadholder fork tubes on it, it is probably several inches higher than a stock featherbed ?!!
Standard sidestands or centrestands would be too short for it....
 
The side stand I put on is a bolt on one for a Featherbed.

They are available in a range of lengths ?

If it bolts on somewhere near the footpeg area, thats probably not a lot higher than stock.
If it was fitted up near the front of the frame, like some Nortons did, it would have to be one of the longer types.. ?
