Posted April 17, 200816 yr Ive just bought a 98 535 virago.I think its American spec,as there isnt a center stand fitted I bought a pattern one,but just realised there isnt much to get hold of within reach to help heave it up onto this stand.Does anyone know of a grab handle of sorts thats on the market somewhere that could be fitted to help in lifting it when putting it on the center stand??? Failing that I'll probably have to make up something to bolt somewhere near the seat there is a couple of strong points there.
February 23, 200916 yr Nope. Most Cruisers have no centre stand. They may come with fittings for one, but I've only ever seen one Cruiser that actually had one fitted. TBH, it's always going to be a pain lugging 230+kgs onto a center stand. Done properly, you should be using your bodyweight to press down and the fulcrum action of the stand to lever it up, rather than dragging it.
