Center Stand Stoppers
« on: June 13, 2015, 09:02:10 AM »
We found a nice OEM 4-into-1 F exhaust that we plan to put on my son's 550K and would like to find a better way to prevent the center stand from coming up against the chain.  Many use a steel bracket that hangs straight down, but I've seen clever ways to do it underneath with two smaller brackets and rubber bumpers bolted right onto the top of the center stand itself.  Anyone here know of a source for these?

 Be aware that you may run into some brake pedal and kicker clearance issues with the F exhaust on the K model.

Whatever works for you, I usually put a stop on the passenger foot rest.

Puting a stop on the stand sounds good actually.

I did this as temporary measure four years ago and have never gotten around to changing it. ::)
I did paint it black..

I'm glad you mentipned this and now I'm a bit concerned.  I wouldn't be so concerned about the kicker, but I would want the rear brakes to still work properly. 

Has anyone here put an F exhaust on a K?  If this is a bad idea, I'd rather not go and buy the pipe tomorrow.
