Not sure but I think you may have misunderstood Ray. I think he might want to know about the centre stand as well.
But I've been wrong before.

Saving up for one. Any center stand would be better than none. Last road trip I pushed my bike halfway across a parking lot while my buddy sprayed chain wax all over my chainguard, wheel, etc.

At least you had someone to help. Next time have them roll your sickle while you spray. Having someone who can roll a motorsickle for you sure beats this routine
Spray, off side stand, one pace, side stand, spray,

I should invest in one. Hope to see a center stand installed on someone's motorsickle at this 5th annual Ga Rally.

From a local automotive store we picked up a motorcycle jack/hoist, the smaller type that you wheel under the bike, not ride/push the bike onto that you find at bike shops. I don't think it was terribly expensive, but I like cause it not attached to the bike so no extra weight, and it has wheels so you can tuck the bike away in the garage easier. Very simiular to this unit http://www.motorcyclejacks.com/LATV-J.shtml but this wouldn't help you with a flat tire on the side of the highway though....

I just ordered one. Hopefully they're not out yet because the next batch isn't until August 1st.
I have a motorcycle jack which is nice when I'm at home. But it doesn't do me any good when I'm on vacation on my bike and I need to adjust the chain etc.
Plus it will make storing alot better in the garage.

Installed mine last night. Nice piece, easy install - 20-30 minutes and that was with me re-reading the directions after every step.
