Trying to make my life easier......

Center stands for the Valk are not easy to find/afford and I understand why.  So....has anyone adapted a stand for another bike to work on the Valk?  Decided I'd explore this but don't want to reinvent the wheel if it's already been done.

Thanks!

Not that I've ever heard of. Avanti made one of some high quality. But unless you can do all the cutting, bending, welding yourself I doubt it would be any cheaper than buying one.

I envision two downsized units for a motorcycle.

or  maybe better a downsized airbag jack

There was an article several years ago that retro-fitted a gl1500 stand to the valk.
I even bought the stand, then promptly lost the directions.

You can contact the original maker for the centre stand, and put your name on the waiting list for when they make them again. When they get enough orders every 2 years or so, they make a run.

The new ones will cost as much as used are selling for, but you should get the grab rails too. Plus tax.
