Out of all the people who took off their center stand...

Anyone wanna get rid one?  I just bought a 2004 GS500f 6 weeks ago, but the previous owner had it taken off.  I think she also had it lowered...

Will that make a difference installing one back on???

you'll drag it on leans which would be dangerous
My hunch was right...Pandy is the biggest Post Whore!

I didn't even think about the leans...  I appreciate the note!!!  Wouls have saved me from a nasty spill.

My bike (1991) hasn't been lowered, and I'm minus a centerstand.  Anyone have one sitting around?

By using a belt instead?

Sorry, I just dated myself. Bigtwins went to belts in '85, which means they've been running chains for about 81 years, or since 1904.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
