I had center stands on both my 1st gen 'busas. When I got the the 2nd Gen I really missed the convenience. I had stands for our gsxr 750 so I was good there. Now I'm getting another 1st Gen next week and the after tires, springs front and rear, helibars, and buell pegs, a center stand was at the top of my list.
No big deal except . . . they are discontinued. I literally did 3 online purchases from places that said they had one over the past week, only to get refunds because it wasn't available. Contacted my dealer Tuesday who said only 4 showed in the whole country in dealers' stock. I called the two closest who didn't actually have one. Finally found one at the 3rd place in WV and its' on the way.
I had resorted to calling a few places who are heavy into extended swing arms to see if any had been taken off and had several discussions about how busas don't have centerstands; so no luck there. I did 4-5 online salvage parts requests and one came through from Mr Cycle in GA yesterday.
Ha ha, my wife thinks I'm crazy. I've purchased all of the above items and I don't go to pick-up the bike until next week.
