I was thinking the same thing. I'm breaking out the "RED" for this one

:tup:

Couple of days ago the "screw" that you put into the bottom of the bikes frame to hold the spring retainer on to the bike popped out when I put the bike on the center-stand. Luckily it was in my garage so the screw, retainer and spring were easy to find. Since it's a screw and barely holds itself in the bike I decided to mix up some epoxy to hold it in. Works great! Don't ever see a reason to remove it.

Then it struck me as to why it had been drilled and tapped and they included a washer and bolt on one end.

I'm guessing this is their fix. So you only use a clip on one side???

I'll try to put this back on after work today and see what happens.

The top ends were pre-ground.

After reading the CSC tutorial, the installation took about 10 minutes.

I was a concerned about lifting the bike onto the stand because I also have the lowering link installed.

And because of some health issues, I have lost a lot of the strength I once had.

On the first attempt, I couldn't do it.

Then rolled a 3/4" board under the rear wheel, and gave a grunt...:cry:

On the second attempt, besides adding the board under the rear wheel,
I altered my holding and lifting technique. The bike popped up on the stand.

I had to keep an eye on the front handlebars. They kept wanting to flop to the side.

A few concerns:

....ground clearance...

.....and for off road riders, maybe a way to snag a branch or rock???

....make sure the kick stand is down before taking the bike off the center stand.

....and maybe a warning for those working around the bike when it is on the center stand...

...it only took a slight nudge for the bike to roll forward off the stand.
