There is another center stand being produced for the Zongshen RX3.
 You can read about it at the following thread.  http://cyclone-rx3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=70

I'm looking into the idea. However, because I've had to move the center stand's pivot point rearward to get the bike to balance in the proper place, a leverage arm would interfere with the normal operation of the kickstand.
What I am currently doing is messing with the leg length of the center stand to find that happy medium walk-over point. It might mean that 2 inches of vertical rear tire lift could reduce to only 3/4", but that's my target minimum. (A sheet of wood) As that would still allow for free tire movement even if you had knobbies. However, as opposed to the stock center stand offering, mine has very large footpads that you can step on while rocking the bike back. |

Perhaps a stud welded onto the footpad would be a benefit.

If you notice in the pic, the center stand nests just under the kick stand. A bolt, or an arm of any kind will interfere with the kick stand swinging down. Right now as designed, it just clears it.
But the center stand works just fine without an extra appendage. I may dip the feet into truck bed liner to help with smooth shop floors. As mine is epoxy coated and I'd just like to not be scratching the floor every time I use the center stand. But the rubberized coating will actually help give you a bit of traction in your garage. |

I didn't have an opportunity to connect with you, but I'm glad you hooked up with AZRider, and will be meeting others near Boise. Ride safely.

Fitting a relay for my heated grips prompted me to finally fit the rest of my daytime running lights as i now had an easy source of ignition switch controlled power.
These are just dirt cheap LED lights and switch from ebay. They seem quite effective, all for under £10 ($15). The extra LED brake light and indicators on the topbox i had done previously. This LED strip was quite cheap too. |

also i have fitted a water proof micro switch to my side stand.
I have it wired to the horn. So if i turn on the ignition with the side stand down i get a loud reminder..  This suites me as i always kick the stand up before switching on. Though i always do this my memory ain't what it used to be.  I have wired in a hidden switch so i can disable it if i choose. |

As always, you did a very nice job, Kat. Thanks for sharing your modifications with us.
Indeed, I also like your microswitch very much.
