For whatever reason my bike did not have a center stand when I bought it. I was wondering where I could buy one or would I have to search for junk bikes?

My guess on it's removal would be that an aftermarket exhaust was installed and negated the use of the centerstand. Do what has been suggested on getting a replacement. If that is a dead end, see if you can't get a new one (though it'll probably cost a bit of $).

It does have the kerger(sp?) 4 to 1 exhaust on it. Does that mean it can't have the center stand?

I cna't say for sure if the Kerker exhaust could be a problem. It has to do with where the pipe position is below the bike. My 750 had a Kerker megaphone system, but also had a workable center stand. It's always possible that the previous owner/s felt it was excess weight and removed the center stand.

Retain the center stand with a 4 into 1 is about a 50% 50%, some do some don't. The center stand is very handy to have, even if you can't leave it on the bike. My KZ1300 Kaw has a 6 into 1 & I can't retain the stand. I have it there & bolt it on to change oil, change tires & do maintenance

I've got a GS1000E with a Motad 4-1 and it's still got the centre stand on. My GS(X)1100E had a 4-1 race exhaust and you couldn't fit the centre stand without it fouling the link pipe.
Guy's remove the centre stand for ground clearance with a 4-1 also....

Like others have said, some yes some no. My GS700 came with a header & no stand. paintmann111, if you look under the bike where the frame tabs for the stand are located you will have a better idea on whether or not one can be reinstalled. The offer from saddlewarmer is a great one, may want to grab it just in case!
On mine it's quite obvious....NO. The pipe is a total PITA. You have to drop it to change the oil :-s . Total BS. Nice design work Kerker!

Since I am still at college until next week I cannot view my bike
as it is 600 miles away. However this is the best picture I have at the moment.
It seems as though it may fit, however the only part I am worried about is where it starts to expand. The foot of the center stand may hit, or it may not.
