Centerstand for 82 Kat

[johnod]

Just bought an 82 1100 Kat, I like it a lot so far, needs some tidying up , but runs and looks good.Among other things its got a Vance and Hines 4 into 1 pipe, and no centerstand. Does anyone know if a stand will fit with that pipe??
If so the hunt for a stand will be on, anyone have one??? Mojoe???

thanks

it depends on the model of the V&H exhaust. some allow for center stand, some don't.
However, for those that "don't", I have still used a center stand. the only think was that the stand rests against the exhaust pipe. no big deal when I did it. you lose maybe a an inch of ground clearance, which you will never notice unless you plan on leaning to the max in the curves.

and ya....I think I do have one that will fit.

The V&H Katana pipe kits came with a flat metal strip , hmm, maybe 3/32" thick by approx 1" wide with a shallow arc cut on one end and a bolt hole in the other. I think is was 5-6 inches in length. This would bolt in the left hand side chassis mount supporting the left hand pipe ( no longer in existence due to the 4 into one config.) and would prevent the C-Stand from contacting the pipe. It worked pretty well.

Hey Mojoe, you have two? My 82 Kat is missing its center stand too.

will check that out, sounds like something could be made at very least.
