Today I installed my 2nd generation, CSC center stand. I like this center stand a lot.

The quality of manufacture is very good. It is easy to lift the bike onto the center stand. The center stand is stable when deployed. Ground clearance is not compromised when the center stand is raised. The center stand lofts the rear wheel.

I did need to trim the center stand to enable it to deploy properly. I used my 4-1/2" angle grinder to remove a little material from the top of the center stand. I will paint this area of the stand the next time I remove the center stand. At that time, I will also weld a gusset between the deployment arm and the left leg of the center stand.



As promised, here are several photographs of the bike with the center stand in the retracted position.
