Hallo Anja & Kurt,
Sorry for writing in English, my writing in German is no good - hope it's OK.
Thanks for your comments.
The nederländische projekt looks very good, and it's smart and simple, however with the GB standard exhaust, it will never work. There simply isn't room enough for the exhaust silencer.
Also the 20 mm shaft will never fit into the shaft bushing of the standard XBR 500 haupständer, which is probably only capable of a 8 or 10 mm shaft.
But, if you modify the exhaust, and place it on the right side of the engine, like the XBR 500 standard exhaust, then you have plenty of room for the 20 mm shaft. Consequently you'll also have to make a new bushing, which will fit the 20 mm shaft. Furthermore, the spring connecting point must be placed somewhere on the shaft, and also the stopping of the haupständer, when standing and up, must be fixed. It's not that easy hm...
I've studied the standard haupständer on a XBR 500, recently, and it looks quite complex.
My construction took me 3-4 weeks from idea to finish. It works well, but since I'm planning to make a new exhaust - connecting the 2 pipes in front in one pipe,and then have the one pipe to be moved to the right side of the engine, finally connected with a Velocette Thruxton silencer for a better sound - I might as well implement the nederländishe idea / system, which is far more simple than my present haupständer - but it'll need various modifications, in order to work.
