Stand identification

Hello Norton enthusiasts. Not sure how many pre Commando folk lurk here? Just wondering if anyone can positively identify this stand that is on a bike i have just bought.

it could be Atlas but much modified. you can see where the cross bar has been removed, a couple of inches up from the bottom. at the end of the cross bar is where the "S" shaped foot piece should be, either some one has modified it or its for something else, maybe a Wideline.

Definitely looks like a featherbed stand. Obviously the cross bar support has been removed, which seems like a bad idea. Perhaps to clear some custom exhaust that was used at some point?
Also, the section that normal curves out / up has been cut and modified, but that's a fairly normal modification. Generally done when rearsets are being used as when the stand is up, it tends to foul the brake lever.
Either way, I'd recommend either replacing the stand or fitting a new cross brace. Especially if you'll be kick starting the bike while it's on the center stand.

Thanks for the replies! Good advice. The frame is a 1959 slimline. For some reason there is no spring and no spring mounting point on this Triton. A PO must have started something then lost interest. Have no idea why somebody would cut the brace off... :cry:

Perhaps the owner had the bright idea of fitting a Dunstall 2-1-2 exhaust system :?:
Who knows :?:

I have seen a Dunstall Commando system fitted to a featherbed frame.
