Center stand for GT models from XRay

[509GT]

So some may have seen Facebook and the few posting from Xray regarding their new center stand. I have been chatting with Robert Calissano the owner for some time now, and bought the first one he posted for sale.

Honestly this is a game changer for the bike and being able to do maintenance, tire changes and what not. It should be here Thurs according to UPS's tracking. I will post up the install and use.

Here are the images from Xray on the stand. One chang he made besides the stand is a relocation 10cm forward fornthe kickstand and he gives the bike more lean, so as to avoid the dreaded tip over worry.

I get nothing from this other than being excited to share something new for our bikes. We rarely find companies investing in the Rocket aftermarket... so Xray is one of the unique outliers.

Thanks for sharing. I saw that advertised somewhere a while back. Let us know your thoughts when you get it installed. My questions would be...
- Does it affect ground clearance (I suspect so)
- Can you remove the front and/or rear tires with the stand down. I'm not sure it will lift high enough.
- If the relocation of the side stand gives it more lean angle that's a real plus. Too bad they don't sell a shorter stand for those of use just wanting that feature.

Roberto says it does add height and enough to balance the bike back and fourth on the wheels... TBD on my end once installed.

I plan on posting close up images, dimensions pre and post install on everything along with the use. The video will either be great success or we are all having a good laugh! I expect it to go swimmingly.
