Honda Centre Stand

[curzon]

I've just fitted a genuine Honda centre stand, to ordered from David Silver spares.

Fitting was a little tricky, not helped by the slightly ambiguous instrictions, but I figured it out! The hardest bit was fitting the two springs under tension, that took a bit of sweating and cursing but got there in the end.

Now it is ideal for chain cleaning / lubrication rear wheel removal and general cleaning and maintenance etc. Why on earth do Honda fit these as standard to the Vara 1000?
