Center Stand - options ?

eBay.co.uk: CENTER centre STAND Yamaha XT 600 95-03 (item 110089678100 end time 08-Apr-07 22:06:23 BST)

Iv been looking at this one on Ebay. Made in Germany.

Has anyone any experience of it and where it mounts too ??

Im worried it may foul my Custom bashplate or be very week.

Bought a centre stand for my 02 model, it was second hand. Fitted it no problems, just the springs were a pain (didnt have a spring puller, used pliers)

Im away from home or i could have posted you some pictures.

It doesnt catch or foul anything. Seems to be pretty sturdy. I think its a SW Motech centre stand.

Cheers. Iv just ordered it from that site...

They use the same picture and product number as the SW Motech site so it must be.

Fitting will be fun im sure ... (i do have spring pullers though )

centre stand

My '03 has a SW-Motech centre stand in combination with a CRD bashplate and it works well! Both parts also fit well.
