Bugtarget Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi All, I want to put a center stand on my V11 LeMans. Apparently there were two different center stands made for the V11 variants. One for the early bikes with 170 rear tire and one for the later bikes using a 180 tire. I'd like to know the dimensions on at least one and hopefully both. I've found some folks with center stands but they're not sure which ones they have. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponti_33609 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I remember someone saying the after market stand was the same for both bikes. I may be remembering wrong and hopefully someone that knows for sure will chime in. Did someone tell you there were 2? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read it somewhere on the v11 site. Don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponti_33609 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I bought one of Gregg Field when he was posting and at MI. He mention ed to me that if I had the newer bike I would need to remove the charcoal cannisters....mine was older and the cannisters were under the seat and why I think they were the same stand.

Bob My bike had the charcoal canister down under but was removed by the PO. I may have to do something about my crossover however. I've got the Guzzi Racing/Titanio exhaust. Any idea if that crossover and a center stand are compatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68C Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Are we talking workshop stands or permanent fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom M Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've got the Guzzi Racing/Titanio exhaust. Any idea if that crossover and a center stand are compatible? The Titanio exhaust kit doesn't include a crossover, it attaches the stock piece. As long as you don't have a Stucchi or FBF crossover you should be OK for a centerstand.

68C Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Then I too am interested, I tried to make one of my own, was'nt pretty or very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Then I too am interested, I tried to make one of my own, was'nt pretty or very effective. I have been debating whether to make one for a while now. If they are still available at the right price I might be tempted to just buy one. If I end up making one it would be worth making more if there is a real need and enough folks want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
