Hi all,

I have heard and seen a part number for a Vision center stand. Does anyone have this and if so, what are your thoughts? I would like to get one for several reasons, and likely the most useful is to check the oil level as it keep the bike vertical. If you have any comments - please post and thanks in advance!

I was reading on V-R and a few guys have received them. It does NOT lift the back tire off of the ground.

I have had it for about two months and its a nice feature, however, it does not lift the back tire off the ground. It is not too difficult to use, once you get the hang of it. It is very sturdy and stable and you would still keep your side stand too.

There is an easy solution to the back tire off the ground problem. If you are at home and want to service the bike, simply slide a 2x4 under the stand when you lift the bike.
If your not servicing the bike, it doesnt matter if the tire is off the ground.

Great comments and thanks! I'm considering getting a J&S Jack stand for service..... heaven knows I'm not going to let the dealer do it after the warrantee runs out......

Yes, that would work for you...

But if I tried that, my feet would be able to touch the ground to push it off the stand!

Good tip though!

Use a 2x12 wider than the bike. Put your feet down on that when it's time to push off.
