Okay, to start, I have done a search, but the really useful post I found was so old the picture links were dead.
I've just ordered a new centre stand from Motorworks (bike didn't come with one), but have a Laser Y-piece in place of the cat, so was wondering what the concensus is on the cheapest and/or easiest way to stop the stand clattering on things it shouldn't? I'd rather not pay £30 to Wunderlich for their little item, if at all possible. Darth said he'd made his own, but the picture link is broken.
Ah ha! I can help you here. I did pay pay Wunderlich for the privelidge. And as it happens I have one. That I can let you have that is surplus to requirements. It works well. PM me and I'll send you the details.
Bol****s, why didn't I ask for a centre stand stop first.
Any one else got one they don't need?
If you want a really cheap solution get some rubber pipe and fix it to the bottom of the leg on the off side with a cable tie. (just like mine). Perfect bump stop on the paralever arm.
If you PM LucaS he had some pics of some welded up stop he made for his bike. I was going to do the same but not got round to it yet. Can remember what it looked like but can't explain it succinctly. I have seen a few post on pelican from him if he don't reply here.
This could be very distracting and worst case this could be dangerous. If you hit a bump mid bend then it could cause the centre stand to rebound and hit the road. Use the frame as the stop.
Nice picture. Both our bikes have got bump stops on the Y piece. I have removed the bar that was welded across the bottom of the Y piece as the rubbers kept working their way out of the end bits. It now vibrates less and is still as solid as a rock.
