Centre stand Update
Tue Aug 28, 2012 5:13 pm
My centre stand finally arrived the other day (7 months) well done "Kawasaki Australia"
The reason for my post is for those that want to go down this path, be aware Yoshi slip ons don't have a stop for the stand to rest against, I am somewhat surprised at this.
However I am not going to let that stop me I will fabricate a stop and weld it to the Yoshi mid pipe!
Will post some pictures when I am done!
Just finished installing my centre stand, had to make a few mods to make it fit.
Stand in the down position, note the section of tube with the original rubber stop mounted. This is attached very close to where the original stop bracket was.
The other side, had to heat & bend the foot stand bracket out about 25mm (1") to clear the Yoshi mid pipe.
A pic showing the stand in the up position, I have made it so it comes up as high as possible. about 25mm (1") higher than standard.
Very happy with the result. I am considering fabbing an aluminium /stainless under tray to hide the stand so it looks similar to the original without the stand. Will post pics if/when I get around to it.
