what kind of center stand should I get

I just did the first thousand mile service on my bike yesterday, switched over to a kn oil filter and put 4 stroke 10w40 full synthetic oil in it. It runs fine and shifts smooth as butter now. However It would have been much easier if I would have had a center stand. Any recommendations on a stand? or where to get one?

I think your after something like this instead of a center stand. You will need some spools as well.

There are cheaper alternatives....

I have t-Rex stands and they are super strong and stable. I'd recommend them for sure; they are half the price or less than pitbull and work just as well.


Edit: Black Widow makes a pretty neat side stand that connects to the frame, I haven't seen one in person but it's just another option.

You can modify dimensions to suit your new-gen.
