Hello, I have just bought a side stand for my MK5, in the hope, it would fit.I realized there may be a problem with the exhaust under the frame and I was right.Has any other member overcome this? I have an idea of using the bracket on the LH side which is part of the engine mounting, by welding a 25mm dia rod 50mm long onto a plate and securing the plate to the bracket.If it works out I will send a photo.In the meantime I have more work on the electrics, the horn now works also the magneto cut out, however, the ammeter has been changed at some time and now when the lights are switched on the ammeter is showing a charge, and when the engine is running the ammeter doesn`t move.Further tests, there is a good output from the dynamo with the two output sockets bridged and a meter from there to earth.The lights brighten when the bike is revved only slightly ( not to damage the dynamo ), but there is no movement at all on the ammeter, so that`s the next job. Does anyone know if the voltage control unit gives much trouble? I will have to check the wiring from the ammeter through to the cut outbox. Len
