Center stand? (Read 11 times)

jrdudas Ex Member	Center stand? 09/05/06 at 07:07:04 Anyone ever try to put a center stand on their Savage? Either an after-market stand or one from a different Suzuki model. A center stand is one of the items I really miss on today's cruiser bikes. JR

I have one from my previous bike but the question becomes, where to mount it. The frame in my opinion does not leave any real place toattach it. Plusit would be a rather short stand as again space is critical on a smaller frame bike.

Reply #3 - 09/06/06 at 06:28:47 There is one on the kawasaki 750 Cruiser that I think would work for the savage. I've looked and looked and looked online and keep getting nos. I really look forward to seeing what you do with finding a solution for this.

I've been rolling around how to design a center stand for a Savage for a while. I think we all agree the main problem is ground clearance when mounting it. Now a though just occured to me, instead of using a "H" design with two legs would it be possible to make one designed as a upside down "T". It would take up a lot less room and could swing up under the frame. Any thoughts on something that different?

Silver '02, clubman handle bars, Cobra headlight, Sportster muffler, K+N stock air filter, 152.5 main, Superbrace, oil cooler, 1/2 inch aluminium plate forward controls, spark advance, goes like stink
