Hi Trevinoz I wouldn't know about fitting the centre stand because it was already on when I bought it in 1969 and the actual bike was featured together with this stand on the cover page of Motorcycle Mechanics magazine March 1966. You mentioned the seat; it is the original but in my youth I changed the piping to red to match the lining on the tank. Again it was cream on the magazine cover. YES I AM ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN IT IS A GENUINE RGS WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION FROM THE FACTORY AND THE FIRST BUFF LOGBOOK, MATCHING NUMBERS ETC.
Hi Chaterlea25 The front wheel was on the bike when I bought it in 1969 and you are right it is not the original 180 single shoe as fitted by the factory but a twin leading shoe of unknown make but a much better stopper than the original. The rim is probably original as its a dunlop rim. The petrol taps are the same as on the Motorcyle Mechanics magazine but hey one spanner and they could be simply changed surely.
