We must remember, the RX3 was not originally designed to accommodate a center stand. The center stand mounts were originally intended only to aid assembly at the factory. CSC told Zongshen to keep the mounts, and reinforce them, so we could install a permanent center stand. Therefore, the frame clearance with the center stand might be a little tighter on some RX3 bikes than others. In any event, if necessary, it only requires a little trimming with an angle grinder to fix the problem. This 2nd generation, center stand is very nice, and I would not be concerned about doing a little grinding to make it fit. One will do less grinding to install this center stand than he would to install the CSC skid plate.
