Thanks to everybody for the advice. It's greatly appreciated. I'm buying a center stand for my cafe racer for two reasons. One, is a bought a lift that grabs my bike from the front of the frame and falls on the center stand mounts(figuring installing a center stand when I lift it would make that point of contact much stronger). The other is for long distant rides so I could have a "jack" in-case I need to change a tube etc. I'm basically just using it on the lift or in "emergency" conditions. Probably should have stated this earlier. Thanks again for all the great advice
