Can anyone tell me which pre war BSA models used the same rear stand as the WDM20?....

I'm currently having a batch of stands made and would like to know all the models which used them other than the wartime and post war ones....Ian

Hi Ian,

Think in prewar times the tubelar type stands were only fitted to the military contract M-types.

The civilian (and some military) prewar M models were usally fitted with a forged steel one, which was originally designed for the frame and fits easy on the outside on the frame.

Always wondered why BSA choose to switch to the tubelar forked ended one we all know for which there is actually no room on the drive side.... Did the WD ask for a stronger/cheaper one ??

Regards, Michiel

Hi Michiel...Thanks..

Interestingly, they did the same thing on the WB30...The B29 Silver Sports, on which it was based, had a forged stand but the WB30 had a tubular one...

In that case the tubular one was much stronger...Ian
