Swingarm stand for vintage bikes?

[woody1981]

Hey guys. I'm thinking about removing the center stand from my CL350. When I had crotch-rockets in a former, faster, dumber life I always just used a swingarm stand to work on my bike. Anyone have any suggestions for one that doesn't look like it should be supporting a gixxer?

Let me know what you found, if anything.

I removed the center stand on my CB450. I'm thinking about installing a 3/4" tube in the frame where the center stand connected (about the same dia) and building a stand that will mate up to that for maintenance. That way there's no weight on the swingarm either if you need to remove it or shocks, etc.

You could stick a piece of 3/4" bar stock through the centerstand pivot like stated above and use a stand there......

I like what you guys are thinking... I think a custom option would be super trick. I guess I just need to break out the sketch pad and figure it out. Thanks for the suggestions. Keep them coming.

I've got one that I've had for 20 years, it's adjustable so I'll just be putting spools on my swing arm. I wish I could remember the brand though.....
