    Center stand

    Hey Guys, Just picked up a 79 GS1000. Pulled off sissy bar, ferring, crashbars, exhaust. Bike did not have a center stand And I bought one on Ebay. What holds the center stand down and away from the chain?? got it installed and spring on but its up to high and hitting the chain.

      Take a look at Post #173. This is what came with my V/H 4-1 pipes. The dual pipes kept the center stand from hitting the chain. The part came with my exhaust system and is a makeshift piece of metal that bolts to the rear foot peg.

          Great! If you notice in the second pic of my bike, the owner before me CUT the frame to fit the exhaust. ON BOTH SIDES!!! So I Don't have a foot peg mount or muffler mounts. Another Forum member is sending me the frame parts so I can weld it back right! Thanks for your help!!

              OMG!

              That's a perfect example of WHY NOT to cut up the bike!

              My apologies, just being outspoken.

              Glad you are getting the help needed.

                      If I were you, I would reinstall the case guards, one day, you'll be thankful you did. I can't believe they cut that frame like that. Would have weakened that spot.

                          Those frame parts that were cut-off have no effect on the strength of the frame.

                          They are frequently removed on track bikes, I have removed them from 2 of my 1000's with no adverse affects.

                          Parts go in the mail to you tomorrow workonwood!

                          I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.
