***SOLD***For sale: Center Stand
I'll try to update this better than my windshield post. As soon as I can get it off, I'm selling the center stand since I flat out don't use it. Looking to get $100 but I'm sure you guys will let me know if that's ludicrous speed.

Not even to clean, lube and adjust the chain ?
So they will last longer, as they will because the enhanced ease of doing it results in it being done better and more often?
Perhaps you have a race stand as well.
If not, another consideration is parking the bike on soft pavement or hard packed gravel/dirt. A centre stand is more stable, especially if you have gear on the bike. Particularly so given the 919's high lean angle when on the lean stand.
True, it's easier to put a piece of wood under a lean stand to get a larger foot area.
As you can tell, I am no fan of lean stands !

To be honest, I'm 5'11" and a buck forty five soaking wet... She ain't easy to get it up on the stand. I plan on buying a "pit bull" or "race stand" with the $$

So, you are half an inch shorter than me, but a wee bit skinnier BUT surely younger and stronger.
About the same as I was when I rode my CB750, a bike I could almost "throw on the stand" with ease.
A centre stand is an easy do with right technique.
The key is to start rolling the bike back before you depress the centre stand lever foot.
The trick is to use the bike's momentum to assist putting it up on the stand.
Left hand on the bar.
Right hand grab point is not so good, if you have stock pegs, use the foot blocker on the passenger peg as a grab point.
Stand so bike is "ahead of you" so when it rolls back a bit you'll be nicely positioned to be able to plant and step on the lever.
Do it right, and it's a short statured flyweight's job.
Do it wrong, unless you are a serious porker, it's going to be tough work.
Takes a bit of practice, but once you have it nailed, you'll be liking it !

I am interested in the center stand (yes I know I'm a n00b but really, I would like a center stand on my bike). Let me know if you end up removing it.

Cool stand, man, but it's not exactly the same, is it? I ***think*** this conversation is about the OEM, stays-on-the-bike center stand, which I would like to have.

No, its not the same. It does the job of the centerstand, but it comes off in seconds. For those of us who don't want to clutter up the underside with a permanent stand. Its a great stand, lots of guys around here love it.

Plus, because of the long lever arm, a 60lb weakling can still get it up!!!

There is so much wrong with that statement. I won't even go there.

In case we all haven't heard, I took a good spill so this thread is still good and I have received and believe responded to all PMs regarding getting the stand off for those of you still interested. Just got the bike home yesterday and will be breaking her down over the next couple days to a week. If still interested follow up with our PMs or send me a new one. Thanks for the patience and well wishes again!
