center Kick Stand
Has anyone Tried to mount a Center Kick Stand on one of the Enduro's. I was thinking it would be handy on the trail if I had a Flat or need to do something to the bike. I was thinking about a Stand similar to a DR or KLR.
like this. http://www.dual-star.com/index2/Bran...nterstand1.htm http://www.dual-star.com/index2/Bran...ter_stands.htm Maybe Find an old one EBAY and weld it up.....DO you think it would work...or would it be a headache.... I know the Lifan Street bikes Have them...I just wonder if they are too short?

headache. Don't know if anyone has done this or not. I have thought about it in the past. I also seen a bike with a kickstand on both sides of the bike. Which I thought about trying as well. After time I decided it would be more hassle than it's worth to me. I figure if worse come to worse I would just lay the bike on it's side and take care of business. My main concern there is the crumy gas cap as I believe it would allow gas to leak if I did lay it over. Not much help I know... sorry.

my cb has a center stand, klunky and heavy but works great, I doubt it'd fit, but they would be dirt cheap.
My cb also leaks gas when layed on it's side. Not so great.  I'measy is right about laying a bike over, if done gently, the only thing that gets dirty is the very end of the handle bar grip. Wide handlebar, small engine. On a cafe racer because the bars are so short, laying down your bike is a very bad thing. |

I have also thought about buying a folding stand to strap on when I go on the trail rides....Just an Idea.
I am not too concerned if I have a flat on the street, because for only $10 a year....I had towing included on my insurance.... Folding MX stand $60 http://www.pitposse.com/pofoxst.html

something you may not even use IMHO. I have seen many post where people have used trees, logs, rocks, other bikes to lean theirs against to change or fix a flat. Seems a better idea to me, but then again I am cheap!
