Advice needed - cheap centre stand stop

[Chamelespoon]

Okay, to start, I have done a search, but the really useful post I found was so old the picture links were dead.

I've just ordered a new centre stand from Motorworks (bike didn't come with one), but have a Laser Y-piece in place of the cat, so was wondering what the concensus is on the cheapest and/or easiest way to stop the stand clattering on things it shouldn't? I'd rather not pay £30 to Wunderlich for their little item, if at all possible. Darth said he'd made his own, but the picture link is broken.

So, recommendations?

Thanks, chaps.

Ah ha! I can help you here. I did pay pay Wunderlich for the privelidge. And as it happens I have one. That I can let you have that is surplus to requirements. It works well. PM me and I'll send you the details.

Bol****s, why didn't I ask for a centre stand stop first.
Any one else got one they don't need?

If you want a really cheap solution get some rubber pipe and fix it to the bottom of the leg on the off side with a cable tie. (just like mine). Perfect bump stop on the paralever arm.

If you PM LucaS he had some pics of some welded up stop he made for his bike. I was going to do the same but not got round to it yet. Can remember what it looked like but can't explain it succinctly. I have seen a few post on pelican from him if he don't reply here.

I have a spare centre stand if that is any use to anyone? One of the bushes stayed in the bike but OK apart from that - offers??

Perfect bump stop on the paralever arm.

EH!!!!!

Do you really use the paralever arm - which is moving with the suspension - as a bump stop for a centre stand that can bounce around on bumps?????

I saw a picture of this on Pelican but it didn't really surprise me there.

Ditto;

This could be very distracting and worst case this could be dangerous. If you hit a bump mid bend then it could cause the centre stand to rebound and hit the road. Use the frame as the stop.

Guys,
thanks for the input.
i keep meaning to get around to doing the job properly.

Hi all!

Here is the solution I've adopted and BR11S is talking about:



I hope it could be somehow useful,

Ciao, Luca!

Nice picture. Both our bikes have got bump stops on the Y piece. I have removed the bar that was welded across the bottom of the Y piece as the rubbers kept working their way out of the end bits. It now vibrates less and is still as solid as a rock.
