I'm looking for a bolt on center stand for my '07 America.
Anyone know of aftermarket vendors that has one?
Thanks,
Mango

Hey guys.....I've often thought about centre stands for our bikes, I was wondering if there was a centre stand from another model of bike that would allow us to use it as a workshop stand, I mean "not for road use", just one that would lift the back wheel.

The problem is the pipes get in the way.

OKay....So what if you take the pipes off, then what's the options, it's only a two min job to take pipes off...I know your thinking now ....

Instead of doing all that why not just make the 2x6 wood stand?
Check the tech vault.

Also an MC/ATV lift is so cheap, and adjustable. They start at $40 for one. Check Harbor Freight....you can even lift the bike up high enough to detail it and not have to bend over or sit on the ground.

I still have to bend over or use a wheeled stool

I would make the 2X8 stand before I bother taking the pipes on and off just for service...

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=2792This is the link to the lift I have. It is a bit more stable than the cheapy red one. It lifts to 16", and the support pads clear all obstructions when used at the rear of the frame rails. There is a Harbor freight store near my home, so I didn't mail order it.

i have a milk crate, works good and you can through your tools in it when done.

I got those too... At the time, my garage was so tight, it was really nice to be able to wheel around stuff. Still those stools are about 20 bucks, not bad for the convenience factor.

Of course if'n you do go to the trouble of removing the pipes think of all the red rtv that will be used in the process and thus will not be available for the after hours Red RTV Raj Majal tube club!  Coming to a parking lot this May...

I got ready to throw out a nasty old 2' tall bucked up particle board TV shelf the other day, until I realized it's really a bike-side tool, beer, left over extra parts & fasteners and gee gaw shelf in TV stand disguise.
Phew! - close one.

I've got one, it's called a Sears Craftsman bike lift. It actually cost less than a Triumph centerstand and it's easier on the back.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

They have fans in them
That being said, I do have the box my stereo came in when I was in 8th grade. Comes in REAL handy when moving I tell ya!!
