looking for a used center stand

[Otter1]

Just bought a used 2013.

Only saw pics since I bought it from an out of state dealer. Bike arrived without the center stand. Dealer wants $214.59 for a new one + more $ for the bolts, springs, etc.

Thanks!

Get the centerstand and whatever springs, bolts, whatnot from Honda East, they're aggressive with pricing and shipping fees are reasonable. For example, the centerstand your dealer wants $214 for, they sell for $133. Here's a link to their site and the parts diagram you need..

SW Motech sells one too, but it's more expensive than what you paid for the OEM one. I'm putting a link here in case someone else searches for this topic at a later date.

BTW, if you have solved your problem, you should edit the title of the post. Maybe just add (FOUND) to the end?

Got a stand (New) from the Honda East dealership at a nice discount. Got it mounted and with 2 men each using a set of pliers we were able to get the springs attached.

When the spring is a one man job, put one end in a vise and bend the spring open and insert a nickle in between two of the coils, bend it the other way and insert another nickle between two different coils. Repeat until spring is desired length, install and pull nickles out one at a time.

I use the $7.99 Pep Boys brake spring tool.

Oldrider - ill try the nickel coins trick next time!

Checkswrecks - if that is a real spring tool its a bargin. I scuffed my knuckles and then almost punched myself in the face trying to get the spring on - LOL
