I will say this. When installing put some lock-tite on them bolts. We were at a rally and just checked in to the hotel. Went out to get our things from the bikes. A group from another state that we know is pulling in. They had just rode in about 300 miles? Dude had his center stand cocked sideways and dragging just off the ground. How his buddies did not see this as they were riding in a group I don't know. He also had to be deaf because I'm sure it was rattling an awful lot. I don't know how many bolts hold it on but he only had one bolt holding it and it was backed off to where it was about to drop the whole center stand on the road. Imagine that flying off your buddies bike at 75 mph just ahead of you. Check your ****

I'm sure some lock tite on the bolts is a good idea. In this case I used nylon capture nuts so I could leave a slight amount of play where the stand swivels. I will keep an eye on them.
