Wide Stand Mod on my 9B1E+

It's a P wannabe but its actually a E+ Model :)

I painted the rings with Black Plasti-Dip and covered the leg pads in a soft black leather. I also added skateboard deck tape to the pedals and it feels a lot better. Other than the cosmetic mods I needed to widen the stand. In stock form it would not hold it stable unless i put the left peddle down and even that was touch & go.

I got some 8mm threaded rod and cut it 2" longer than the stock rod. I put 1" metal spacers on each side and glued the rubber feet to the new rod. Works significantly better and only cost about $4 to modify still using the existing bracket...!!

Can you please tell me where you get the rod?

 Took my first ride in true rainy weather, and the pads were just too slippery.  I did the Grip Tape today (after seeing yours) and I LOVE the results.  My feet don't move around anymore, even when wet.  I did this to my TG F3 a while back and loved it there too.  I guess I like my feet firmly gripping the wheel.  Allows my legs to stay loose.

Trolley Handle, Parking Stand, and Light/Camera Mount will be installed soon.

Hi - How have you got on with the plastidip since you sprayed your NB1.  I did something very similar but found the Plastip would tear or peel away with the lightest graze or knock.... Although when I had first sprayed it it looked very nice (just like yours here) it started to look tatty after a couple of weeks so I pulled it all off.
