Hi need a post war centre stand to suit my Mk 3 Thanks Daren
Daren, I bought a stand from the LDMCC, there are two kinds (at least), a wide which is I understand for use with the woffle box muffler and a narrow one required where the low set mufflers are used.
I suspect you would have to be very careful to only set the bike on very level ground if you are using the narrow stand.

Affirmed! I bought a narrow stand from the LDMCC, and had the bike topple a few times. I ended up welding extensions to the sides of the stand to make it wider. In hindsight I should have chose the wide stand for my Mark 3 Sports.
Even so, when not on a hard surface I try to lean the bike against something, or take a square of plywood along with me to place under the centerstand.
