Anyone have one? How stable are they? Recommendations?

I had one and it dragged in the really tight twisties. It might work better on a cement drive, but on my gravel driveway I'd just about **** my spine out my arse putting up on the stand. Other than that it was great for cleaning the rear wheel.

If its the one I have seen you will need to be the Hulk to haul it onto the stand
They supply a hand strap to attatch to the lower frame for leverage.. maybe a Scrotum Hernia too
Good Luck..

You will need to rotate the crank angle sensor 180 degrees too to fit it other wise it will hit it , i too found it drags a bit but if you bend a cloths hanger wire to act like a hook to keep it up a bit more then it was ok , i found rolling the back tyre on a 1/2 inch thick plank made it much easier to lift or find a slight depression on the ground, having rear bars to grab onto made it much easier to lift as well good luck

It would be nice to have the same set up as on the BMW's especially the way this bike is designed..

So basically, no.
Nothing but bad reviews. Not a good sign. Anyone able to recommend a center kickstand that actually works for this bike?

Mr Medic Sir
I feel sure that if there was anything worth having in the way of C/stands many of us would have one fitted..
I would like one too, just aint none worth having at the moment..

once you set it up ( you get good instructions with it) it's a 5-10 minute job to take it off and put it back on, I leave mine off normally:kick: and put it on to do maintenance on the bike it's a good stable stand but to me it's a better maintenance stand

Also seems like I had to do a little grinding to get it to fit.
