OK...next question re. center stand removal.

[John Schmidt]

I installed mine early on shortly after they became available. I installed it myself with no problem but it's been so long ago, I can't remember if I had to get the bike on a lift to do it. Looking at it from underneath, it appears to be held in place with two large allen head bolts using a clamping device on the cross member. The other end(left side) best I can tell is held in place with one large bolt coming down from above, I think that bolt also holds the left side of the side stand mount in place. Does anyone still have the instructions on how to mount a center stand, or can recall how it was done? I don't want to get under there to remove that large bolt and have the side stand let go.

Just so you'll all know....it's already sold.

Hey John. Maybe this writeup from Shoptalk will help.  http://lifeisaroad.com/stories/2004/10/27/centerStand.html

If you want the official Rivco instructions, thank Dag of Norway: http://www.valkyrienorway.com/download.html

I installed mine with the bike on the sidestand. Did not use a lift.

+1 on Dag's site.

If I remember right, the nut holding the kick stand is removed, and the bolt goes into the cross member of the center stand. So find that 19 or 17 mm nut first (the manual should show it right).
