Author Topic: Rivco Centerstand question  (Read 1116 times)

I have a 2000 Valk Std. with Rivco centerstand.  Has anyone figured out a way to use the 'bolt on' (not permanent) style jack adaptor with this centerstand?

The centerstand is mounted exactly where the bolt-on jack adaptor's two vertical posts normally make contact with the bike's frame.  I'm reluctant to jack up the bike using only the engine.  The adaptor provides jack support using both the engine and frame.  It looks like I may have a useless bolt-on adaptor 'for-sale'.

thanx,
bill

I have a '99 Standard with Rivco center stand.I bought the temp adapter on Ebay and it uses J bolts to attach to the engine. I have jacked on it several times, never an issue.Here's the link to the one I bought. Great unit.

I made one like this for my bike. I have 2 left. I don't think I'm going to make anymore of them as i just don't have the time.

I bought one of the centerstand adapters from Hoghead.  I have been pleased with it.  It is compact and light enough that I just leave it on the bike.  He has gone down on the price (I think) since I bought mine which is a added plus.  It is stable on the jack as it is, but I put safety tiedowns on for some things like wheel removal, ect.
