Center Stand
There was a center stand on my bike when I bought it last year.
How many have them?
I dragged it a few times on corners and that concerns me a bit. It will drag long before the floorboards.
I use it to gas up but since I got a jack I don't even use it for cleaning.
I was told they cost about 300$.
I'm thinking - pull it off. Any pro/con's?

RE: Center Stand
That's alot of bike to put up on a center stand. Do that 10 times in the morning and you could cancel your membership to the gym.
That said, if I had one I'd use it. If it scrapped, I'd ditch it. Don't mind dragging the floor boards, they give a little. But dragging the center stand is like dragging the frame, that would worry me and effect the way I ride. Just my .02

RE: Center Stand
Never had one and now I can't. I have the super premium oil cooler and it mounts in the same place. Have seen a few center stands though. Most say they like them but some say they do drag on aggressive riding.

When you use a center stand properly you use hardly any muscle. Stepping on the center stand lifts the bike up. You dont "lift" the bike up

Also aware that it is more technique than brute force.
But 10 times in the morning is more excercise than I get.
Except pelvic thrusts. (not 10 times...just 10 pelvic thrusts[:@])
