Also, BMW placed their stands at the bike's balance point so that the bike would rest on the front or rear tire. In other words, it would rest on the rear tire if the front was removed and front otherwise. Made roadside tire repair a snap.
Always admired that about mid 70's BMWs. That and the little handle on the rear shocks to change preload without a separate tool. Back then it seemed like their engineers might have actually ridden and worked on their own BMW's.
