Where did you get the center stand from? I like it
I LOVE it! Get it lots of places, here's J&P:

Couple points though: NEVER use it on anything but hard, FLAT, LEVEL surfaces. Once I laid bike on left side because pavement wasn't level
I was holding it to right, stand forced it left toward slope and momentum took it over...no damage thankfully. You need to kick it in place very slowly.
You need to know which one to get. My SERG is lowered, so it takes a different one from the touring models that are not lowered.
Also great for oil changes, washing, lots of other stuff........
