I wonder if CSC is offering an adjusted price for those who bought the original
But now want the updated one ?

I emailed asking that question and they said they'd work something out. Once I see some more photos/reviews I'll write them again. I really don't like not being able to put the bike on the center stand myself.

I have an experimental centerstand I want to build and the old design stand would be useful. In fact, I could use several.
So, if anyone has an old one and is buying a new one, I'd like to work something out with them.
PM me if interested.

Just a thought for you guys when installing your center stand.
If you have trouble getting it into the frame bracket as if the new stand is a bit too wide, check for burrs banged up on the frame mounting bracket from hitting rocks. The center stand mounting bracket is the lowest portion of the frame and will get dinged up if you hit any rocks. Gently Feel the inside portion where the stand goes into and if you feel a sharp burr, hit it with a file. Be careful when feeling it as they can be sharp as a razor blade.

Readhawk47,
I'll keep you in mind for my old center stand but haven't ordered a new one yet as I want to see how they work out on others bikes. I'm wondering if those of us that put a lowering link on would need a shorter center stand to compensate like other bike brands do?

Thanks for posting the good tip, Rob.

Looks like there is no difference between the original Centerstand and the updated one save for the deployment arm.
Which has me thinking I'll call CSC to see if I could just purchase the arm and weld it on myself.
Also I'm surprised that there is not a gusset where the arm meets the stand.
I would definitely add a gusset there because of the load of standing on it with all my weight.

Redhawk, I will definitely keep you in mind should I replace mine with a new one.
