Centre stand

[Bcsmith]

When the NC first arrived in 2012, Honda couldn’t supply center stands until some time later. My solution for raising the rear wheel was a wood block prop up the axle. See photo. The thread I originally wrote about it is gone since it was so long ago. I also use a similar type metal stick for my dual sport that is small enough to carry with me.

Ahhh nice. I tried to look at your full post yesterday on the block but couldn’t see the photo so I searched further until I found the above method. Thank you for re-posting.

The center stand gives me a lot more room and flexibility for parking in my (tight) garage. It's also incredibly stable plus with the DCT I don't need to have the parking brake engaged.
It is a lot of technique. Have you tried installing the S Center stand on your lowered bike yet?
