I ended up winning an auction for a centerstand assembly that was removed from a 2003 part out. Looks like a Rivco, from other pictures I've seen. Best part? $136.50 shipped! Installed last night. Didn't come with the assist handle, but I've figured out a decent way of getting it on the stand so far. I'll keep my eyes open for a handle, though. Another great thing is that it fits perfectly with my Mark T. lift adapter, so no interference between the two. I've seen these stands go for over $400, so I'm pretty happy with this addition.
If any of you were bidding, my apologies... sort of. OK; not really.

Corner carvers wouldn’t give 136 cents for a center stand. But if you must have one I think you got a good deal!

Thanks for the report on that. I have not been able to get a look at the fit between the center stand and my permanent lift adapter so their compatibility was unknown. Good to know they fit together! |

Because I'm about 6'4" tall, I already have Mark T's peg relocation brackets for a bit more legroom. I drag pegs here and there already. I can't see the center stand costing me any more clearance, but it will help with routine maintenance, cleaning, etc without dragging out the jack. I searched here quite a bit, and it seems that those who have it consider it one of their favorite accessories. |

that's because corner carvers don't understand that the rear shocks need to be bumped up to keep from bottoming out. I have scraped pegs and not once has the correctly installed and adjusted center stand touched down. its called needing to have a stiff suspension when riding hard in corners. |

I ride with corner carvers without being as much of one. I've always had non-mushy 13 inch progressive shocks. I've got more scrapes on the bottoms of my highway pegs than my rider pegs... -Mike |

FWIW....I have shorter shocks and have yet to scrape the centerstand. I'm normally not an aggresive rider but as stated....when I do get it on in the twisties I'll scrape a foor peg first but never the CS.

I’m neither a corner carver or a center stand owner. My comment was from memory of long ago discussions about centerstands.

I’m not the most aggressive rider in this club, nor am I the least aggressive. I’ve done AZ 89 into Prescott, “666” on the eastern border, the Tail of the Dragon, CA 36, amongst others. Never touched the centerstand . I’ve scraped a few pegs though.

Good for you. I was watching those posts (as I always do) looking for a deal, and seeing what they might go for. The price as great, but was more than I was going to pay, as I already have a center stand.
I saw his Mustang seat didn't sell at all, and was thinking on that one.
