Afternoon all, I have just bought a lovely second hand Gee-Tech Headstock Stand. I knew that the 16.68mm dia pin supplied would not be suitable for my 749R. Shouldn’t be a problem as so I can get it turned down to the correct size. I measured the hole in my yoke and it’s just under 14mm diameter - bit tricky to do as the internal prongs of my caliper aren’t quite long enough to get a reliable reading. Couple of questions: Does anybody have a pin for a 749R? @Paul55 ? @nelly ? If so, could you measure it please? What sort of clearance is needed - tight fit or fairly loose. Thanks!
I will get the measurement for you tomorrow although I think this stand is not specifically for the 749 hole.
Interesting that the different bottom yoke for the R has a hole, as the standard one doesn't, I had to drill my 999 yoke and sleeve the bottom of the stem to use one.
It has a hole in the bolt that allows the steering stem to be eccentrically adjusted to compensate for the adjustable headstock angle.
