After a few attempts to get bike on it hurrah cracked it! Your right hand put it on the frame low down near the pegs & lift there, dont try rail under the seat as you normally would with another bike, it wont work.:upyeah::wink:
After years of putting first my 1959 and then my 1964 Triumph on their centre stands, the technique is the same for my new Bonneville, i.e. using the rail under the seat as confirmed by Beiciwr.
Hey, 2wheeledant, I tried your method today out of interest, and I've got to say that I think it's actually easier (for a short guy), as the grab position is lower. You live and learn.
