Centre stands

[k_enn]

For what it is worth, from day one to today every time it is on the center stand (on level ground), the front tire on mine is about 3/4 of an inch off of the ground.  It makes for a stable center stand, although it takes a good heave to get it on the stand.

<< Best price I found for the exhaust nut wrench was from San Jose BMW. http://www.sjbmw.com/ It won't be the prettiest tool in your box but it gets the job done. >>

I just tried searching on that site & couldn't find anything to do with airhead tools. Tried a word search with no luck. Couldn't search by bike model, either, or under "parts." Has SJBMW dropped airheads from the bikes they support and service?

Looks like I'm going to need the exhaust nut wrench to replace my center stand, and sooner rather than later.

Thanks, Monte. I learned later that the guy who's going to be mentoring me through all this has the wrench in question, so the heat's off for the moment. Nonetheless, I think I'll check it out, just in case.
