Guest russ Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I'd love one if the $ were not too high. How much $? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gthyni Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Can we see some pics with the stand in the "up" position? Do you have to sacrify some ground clearence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IanJ Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Moto International tells me that I can get a Guzzi centerstand kit for $269 before tax. I've never seen one before, but those pictures are probably the very item. It should be a "stock" accessory available at Guzzi dealerships.

John O'Sullivan Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 What model year is the center stand fitted to? I tried fitting a TLM supplied centerstand to my 2002 Scura but the stand was for the earlier models without the lower brace to the engine. This stand looks to be different to the model I was supplied with. They did say that they were having another stand fabricated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 It also looks like it wouldn't work with an "X" type crossover like the Stucchi. It looks in the photo like it fits neatly behind the OEM crossover, and I suspect would work with an "H" type Anyone know? I've actualy gotten pretty used to my shop stand now, so this is less of an issue. Although I guess a center-stand might be nice on the road in some circumstances. Would love to see some more photos from different angles though, especially in the "up" position, and maybe a better photo from underneath showing it's mounting. Thanks for the info al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 A centerstand would be real helpful to those of us who go motorcycle camping. I hate loading up a bike that's leaned way over. And the MG OEM shopstand strapped to my back really starts to hurt after awhile. Cheers, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Jason ....oh sure I understand, "been there, done that" But on the other hand, I've actually gotten surprisingly used to just having a side stand.... a lot more used to it than I thought I ever would as not having a center-stand was one of the few items working against the LeMans when I was looking at it new. Of course as you can see, I apparently "got past" that little drawback So anyway, would still love to see more photos from various angles, especially with the stand folded.... to get a better idea. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Minnaert Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 The only stand I find in the TLM online database, for the V11 costs 124 euro ex VAT. So if you want one, you are way cheaper with ordering at tlm direct. They ship worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twhitaker Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Nice and frugal centerstand that looks like it would disappear when stowed up. My '96 California has a centerstand with a humongous lever. In order to raise the bike, one has to push down HARD on the lever whilst lifting hard on the passenger grab rail. I know the Cali is about 100 pounds heavier than my LeMans but when I have two loaded saddlebags and my 30 pound camping kit (tent, two sleeping bags, air mattress, inflater, and two pillows) atop the tail rack it is going to be one difficult brute to put on the centerstand. There is no grab rail or for that matter any solid place to put ones hand to lift the bike. Please enlighten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 hrmmm, yeah that looks like a Sport1100 cross-over, so I'll be interested to see the stand up, installed, etc on a V11 Sport/LeMans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it was well over 700lbs, and all top-heavy at that!! But with the right technique, it came right up on the centerstand.... a technique developed over time, trial, and a couple notable errors I may keep my eye on that centerstand, and give it a try. I'm just not too sure about that rear bracket mounting on the outside of the "pork-chop", and wondering about clearing our slightly rerouted exhaust on the V11 Sport/LeMans versus the Sport1100 ...might be worth experimenting with... al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
