centerstand : how much does a valkyrie / GW1800 roll back

[Anthony]

hello,

can anybody with a centerstand help me with the following question:
"how far does the bike move back in order to put it on the centerstand?"

* for a Valkyrie
* for a Goldwing 1800
so when you would drive up to a wall, stop, put the bike up on the centerstand : how far is the front wheel now from the wall?

i am making a design for a closed & covered bike-boxx, and want to make sure the biggest bikes can fit in.
My F6C does not have a centerstand, but i want to make sure that it can even hold those that do.



does anybody know of a standard bigger bike ? longer, higher trunk?
(not counting a Boss Hoss for the moment)


Thanks in advance,
anthony

Dunno about the Valk but my GL 1500 rolled back about a foot.

Just went out in the garage and measured, my F6B rolled back 8 inches.
I put it on the side stand, tilted it straight up, then stepped down on the center stand to raise it.
The distance the end of the back fender moved was 8 inches.
