They fit on suzuki sport bikes that begin with GS and end with XR.
You put the bike on the centerstand ...
And yea they're lying to you saying it fits a GS, maybe after you weld a nut ... but then if you did that you could well weld a whole bolt with spool to it couldn't ya.
Cool.

Centerstands are nice things on streetbikes. They serve as both stands.  As-is, they keep the rear off of the ground.  Put some weight on the back of the bike, and voila, the front is off of the ground...
