To Center Stand Or Not To Center Stand

TEC paddock stand adaptor:

 

The problem with the rod through the axle type means you can't use the paddock stand to remove the wheel like you can with the swingarm mounted bobbins.

 

Never had a bike without centre stand and don't want one. My T120 came with one, wouldn't have accepted it without. I would say a stand isn't a maybe add on but an essential. All this just to save manufacturers a bit of money on something that for decades was as standard as wheels, unbelievable!

 

Yes @Brixton Steve Can you imagine strapping an abba stand to your Bonnie just in case you get a puncture. Unfortunately the 660 does not have one. So up the Swanie without the paddle.

 

I’m of the school of thought if you are looking for weight savings or avoiding adding weight to your machine, it’s best to work with the nut steering the handle bars .

I’m far from scraping the pegs at amateur track days on a Bonnie so, I likely wouldn’t notice the difference of having a center stand added or removed. (Mine is equipped).
