Anybody know where to get such a thing or what years I'd be looking for? I'm a small-ish chick and have been struggling with the worn out center stand on my bike. I'm in LA - tips appreciated! Thanks.
I changed all my K100 stands to K1100. The complete assembly is needed but its a straight swap.
You WILL find it harder to get on the centre stand and if you get a shorter rear shock then you will find it even harder. Other mods you can do are to pull the fork stanchions up 10-15mm and change rear tyre from 80 to 70 profile, afian these have the effect of making it harder to get the bike up on the stand.
The second thing I found was that the exhaust design on the 2v K100 makes it a little tight for getting your foot in to place on the arm on the stand leg to get the stand down. It could be worth getting that arm adjusted slightly if you are altering the stand.
