Hi Guys n Gals,
I'd bought some AR125 bits last week and found there were three main stands in the job lot.
I was wondering, is there a problem with these stands that's caused so many to come from one breaker, or is it that it's something that young 'un's would've removed? _________________ Kindest regards

Good question. I like to have a centre stand on a road bike, but many are removed to give it a more modern racy look.
I've not had a problem with any of mine other than pin wear (through stand and frame bracket).. But I have seen people who have had the frame stand bracket fail (cracking and corrosion of bracket to frame). Think I've been lucky on this.
I suppose when people break AR125s the centre stands wouldn't sell as well simply due to the fact that its not essential to have one...
Is yours ok? _________________ We are where we are... |

Hi Shaun,
mine does seem to lean a little towards the right, so when I re-fit my swinging arm, I'll remove the stand and compare it against the three spares I now have! _________________ Kindest regards

the centre stand is no more on my bike and when i cut off the side stand switch it must of been part of the stand stop so now i must come up with a cunning plan to get it fixed. only problem is i have had the frame powder coated.
may buy a side stand off eBay and see if that fits better because i did get the grinder on the stand too.
Lesson learnt. try stuff before powder coating |

Hi Fazey,
well I don't have any side stands but should you decide you need a centre stand then just let me know and I'll post you one. _________________ Kindest regards
