What is a fair price for a rivco center stand with left and right lift rails,  selling mine,  because I put on 6 into 6. Pipes and there are some fitment issues.

New, they were about 450 with both grab rails, right?
If your center stand is in really nice shape,  you might get 400 with no problem.

A really, really fair price would be about 375, imho. It would sell quickly at that price.

Rivco made a new run about a year ago but once again, these have fallen into the "unobtainable" category---at least for new ones.

I consider the center stand to be the most valuable accessory on my '98 Tourer.  All my maintenance etc is done on that stand, I have no bike lift.  That said, IMO even a used Rivco center stand is worth the original price of $450.  I would not want to gauge a VRCC Brother but the law of supply and demand certainly applies here...

Don't have one BUT if I wuz lookin fer one I'd fully expect the first number to be a 4 as in four hundred. And if I was selling a Valkyrie with one mounted there would be a minimum $450.00 price adjustment one way or the other depending on whether or not the purchaser wanted the R C S. RIDE SAFE

Agree with all. and the right side grab rail is even more rare since it was originally an option.

I have left and right still in the package. I plan to retire on that sale.  Evil

What more could I say, it's worthless, just send it to me, I'll even pay the shipping.  Evil


Because of how much they sell for (resent one on an auction site just sold for $400), when I actually need one, I'll be writing Rivco and place my order. As mentioned, they seem to run a batch off ever odd year or so. I'm fairly sure they'll have the grab rail to go with it, where I don't recall seeing one with a used stand.

I looked into making them, or modify a GW to fit with the IS, and gave up. Too expensive to buy a commercial mandrel bender. Was tempted to make it more like a GW, and have straight pipes.
