Center Stand wanted for Gen I

[dunhamg]

Anyone parting out a Gen 1 and have a center stand available? I wore mine out apparently. It was broken this morning when I went to put it on. Completely broken through on the right side of it.

I have one ... which you can have just for the cost of shipping it .... BUT ... that being said. The 1st gen center stands were known to be weak and breakages did happen. The 2004 model is when they were strengthened. If you take mine, chances are it will eventually go the same way as yours did.

I replaced mine with the 2004 model - you might want to do the same.

My offer stands though.

The '03 model year had a water drainage issue which ultimately led the center stand to breaking. The '04 model year had a change to the drainage and an additional gusset added for strength. You would like to get any center stand but an '03.

Edit: I see rogdeb and I cross posted the same info, how about that, we agree!

It is very easy to have an extra brace welded to the 03s. Then simply paint or powder coat.
