    Central Stand - Crosstourer 1200X

    I just installed my central stand. Since I've learned a lot from this forum I'd like to add small brick from my side.

    I've purchased ConStands model (half price of SW MOTECH) and I'm really happy about it - quality is very good.
    All items described on the picture are part of set (plus small rubber bumper - already installed on the Stand) . Installation require small screwdriver for locking pin, hex for installation of crew + contra nut (I believe it was size 12) and pliers. It took 10 minutes to install.

    If anybody asked - I recommend - while this bike was never small (even tilted) on the parking spot, it looks HUGE now (2nd photo)




    Regards!

    Looks good - I wonder how easy it is to get the bike on this centre compared with the Honda OE centre stand which is more challenging than every other bike I've owned. Not impossible, just more effort than it should be.

    It looks good, but seems it wouldn't be suitable for my tweaked bike as it states "Note: Not suitable for lowered models".



    It probably means I'd burst blood vessels and herniate discs when trying to wrestle it on and off the stand.  :003:

    well, you're 100% right - I never had opportunity to use original stand, (I can compare to BMW GS1200 which is lighter but similar size bike) the one I have requires some extra force, I'm 190 cm tall guy that is roughly 130 kg :)

    yeah - the way it's mounted (while lowered suspension)would require both: lifting  the whole rear end and moving it all way back while trying to put it on stand (impossible)
