Title: Center Stand
Post by LANCER on 06/15/08 at 19:03:03

Wonder if this could be adapted to the Savage/S40 ?

SW-MOTECH Centerstand (Suzuki XF650 Freewind)

The must-have accessory for sport-touring! Greatly eases basic chain maintenance, tire changes, parking, and bike cleaning. Super-strong steel construction features typical German design and high engineering standards. Superb integration with the factory exhaust and sidestand components -- retain all existing features without sacrificing lean angle or clearances.

All hardware needed to mount the centerstand included. Typically installs using basic hand tools. No welding, cutting, or drilling of existing frame or body parts required. Tough black powdercoated finish with some gray fittings or hardware as applicable. A double-retention spring is included as a safety feature to prevent the centerstand from contacting pavement if one of the two springs should fail during a ride. Designed to work with OEM components -- we cannot assure fit with aftermarket exhausts or other accessories. Total weight about 7 lbs.

A pic of the top end, not mounted, would be nice. It looks pretty tall, for the Savage. That would necessitate lifting more than 1/2 the weight of the bike, it looks to me. But, would it adapt? Might have to chop & channel it, but, with a torch & welder , most likely, it would "adapt"...

I could be off the mark on this, but for some reason I have a thought in the back of my mind somewhere that the Freewind is similar ... engine wise ... as the LS650. If so, then it would seem that the bottom of the frame would also be similar.
Does anyone in Europe know about this ? ?

There is a pdf that has some installation diagrams with a better look at the top of the stand. Looks like they make a lot of center stands.
