cant run a center stand with a 120/90/18 rear tire ?

[autoguy]

got my 120/90/18 rear tire on my 1972 cb450 and was going to go for a ride and could not back the bike up, i looked down and the damn center stand was touching the rear tire acting as a brake

got the center stand pulled off and the bar/rod was bent, and the tire moved fine

so is my bike just being special ed ified or can you not run a center stand with a 120/90/18 rear tire on a 1972 cb450 ?

i was planning to pull the center stand off anyway but was just wondering ?

Works fine for me with center stand and an Avon AM26 120/90/18.

In fact, I only run a center stand.

Sounds like something else was pushing the stand into the tire...

Any way to grind off the inner part of the center stand without losing too much structural integrity?
