My original Centerstand lofts the front wheel even when my side and top boxes are empty.
Nice to hear that the new one lifts the rear wheel.I'm curious how that is Re-design or because no boxes on Spud's bike ? |

I had one of the side boxes off of my bike when I did the valve work - and if I remember right, it was much happier to loft the rear wheel then. What I'm curious about is the contact with the frame requiring that the top of the stand be ground down - especially if the design is such that the existing stands were unchanged and an arm was simply added. i do not recall having such an issue with my center stand. |

I will install my empty, Garage Pro Travel Trunk this afternoon, and see if the center stand still lofts the rear wheel.

I seem to recall that Spud replaced the wide steel rear rim with a narrower aluminum rim. That might be the weight difference in question since the stand is very near the center of balance. |

I installed my new stand today and apart from being creative in stretching the spring, everything went very smoothly. The stand worked first time, no adjustments necessary,and it lifts the rear wheel way off the ground. It is not as easy to deploy the side stand, but I'll get used to that with time.

I'm glad you didn't need to grind the center stand. I'm not surprised, since these bikes weren't originally designed for a center stand. The frame welds on my bike were probably larger than the frame welds on your bike.
