Hi,
I'm considering upgrading my center stand to the later style from the early style. My bike was produced in March 1985.
I was looking at the Motobins website and they indicate the upgraded center stand only fits '86 on models. What's the difference between the two versions of the center stand mounting points?
I've got the center stand with the curved feet which are prone to suddenly fail. I like the newer straight leg design, because I don't think it's as prone to fail like the early version.
If the new style center stand wouldn't fit my center stand/side stand mounting bracket, can I upgrade the bracket to the newer style bracket for my calendar date production K-bike?
Thanks for the help.
Regards
PS
Motobins also lists a new center stand mounting bracket that they indicate takes the later model center stand. I checked RealOEM.com for my VIN and the parts list indicates I already have the center stand that takes the later model center stand.
Based on what I can determine from comparing part numbers, the '86 on center stand will fit an 03/85 production K100.
