cliverlong Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Hi, I have had a look around and the XVS250 only seems to be provided with a side stand. In London, parking areas are very tight and a sidestand results in the bike wanting to take up to 2 bike spaces. Does anyone know of a custom centre (center) stand for the XVS250? Thanks Clive Long
Ttaskmaster Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 IIRC, the XVS series does have mounting holes for a centrestand. My 650 did... I've never seen one mounted, though. Just pull in nice and close to the bike on your right, shimmy/wiggle around their sticky-out bits and then put it on the sidestand. We have m/c parking bays here that are under 3' wide and most Cruisers manage it without a problem... even the big 1900s. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Part of the price you pay for having such a sexy bike, I'm afraid!
Noise Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Yer the XVS range does have a bracket for a center stand but dont have them fitted. your best bet is to mesure the gap of the bracket and go to a local scrap yard and find a bike which its center stand will fit your bike. If not im sure in the deepest darkest parts of London there must be a metal shop that will fabricate one up for you

obriens65 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 £115!!!! At that price I'd at least want gold plated 1
Noise Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 That is a bit pricey, its only holding up a 125 not a rocket 3!
