A caferacer doesn't have a centre kickstand. They are heavy and you don't need it.

Just lean your bike against a hedge like real racer.

On pg. 21 there is a picture of the stand with spring attached.

Weld on'F2/2' style side-stand bracket, it doesn't ground out when cornering and is lighter than center stand,
 Early 550 and 'K' series had bracket at front of frame, late F series have it at rear where frame tube 'bends' up to shock mounts
