I saw this on FB. Can't afford the forks and a center stand seems silly for this bike (would affect clearance), but here ya go....

Here's their website, but neither is featured yet- maybe later this month.

I was curious about the cost and if they imparted a significant advantage. I just traded for a new Challenger Elite so my bike fund has taken a hit. The only issue I have with money is getting a better rate on certificates of deposit.;)

To quote a line from the Fast and Furious movie,” pockets ain’t empty bro”.:roll: I think I’d like carbon fiber wheels but that is huge coin.
 
It's the rear suspension that needs improving, in my opinion. The stock front end seems just fine to me.

A centre stand would be a very useful feature on the Rocket.
I dread to think what it will be like to get a puncture while out on the road somewhere.
Once the tyre is flat, the side stand will only be usable if the bike is placed in a way that can work with the length of the side stand, but I bet that if you're on your own, it's going to be fun manoeuvring the bike around on a flat tyre.

Worth a look then, I think......but like you said, could affect ground clearance...........Certainly adds more weight etc.......hmm...

Good point but would it be possible to get it on the center stand with a flat tire?.

Good question.
I think that will depend on the geometry of the stand.
BMW tend to know how to make a nice centre stand, but i've noticed many out there that take a bit of effort at the best of times.

I had a Kawasaki GTR1000 back in the day and even with a full fuel tank (6 imp gallons) and full luggage, it was pretty easy to get it on the stand.....but I don't recall having to do it with a flat tyre.
