Re: Looking for a Centerstand

Motowfo, I may have a solution for you. I recently order a used centerstand of the R850R, shortened it, and then mounted on my Rockster, it works well.

modifying center for lowered Rockster

Hello all,

has anyone tried to cut the center stand? it sounds easy, but when you look at the Rockster center stand, there is not much room to modify. Please send pics if anyone has done this all ready. I have lowered my bike and want to modify the center for use, but don't know how. :(
