Center stand option on 91??

Was a center stand ever a option on a 91-93? I had heard somewhere that bikes in canada could have a dealer option put on? I am looking to acquire one but want to make sure it is going to even fit.

Thanks,

 

As I recall a centerstands on the 91's were an "option" Meaning more bucks. Mine fits fine, It took two of us to install it and never a problem.

 

so...

it is just a matter of installing it....there is a place that it goes without any cutting or modifications?

 

centerstand

I added a centerstand to my '93. The brackets and everything were already in place and it was a straight bolt-up situation.
To make it easier to deal with the springs, put pennies in the coils during installation and take them out when you're done.

Cheers!

Yep, your bike is ready to go. Good stuff on the use of coins we used washers and lots of colorful language.

There are several places on the net where the frame and perches are shown. Factory manuals are good things to have at hand.

 

do you know offhand where i can find pic of the frame and perches i tried to do a search and didn't find anything.....and when you mean put pennies in the coils you mean stretch out the spring coils and insert coins in and release???

 

Don't know about the pictures, but you just slide pennies, or washers, in between the spring coils, effectively stretching the spring, which makes installation much easier (or even possible). They'll fall out the first time you use it.

Centerstands on 91's were an option as were seat cowls.


The service manual for 90-93 VFR's is in PDF and downloads in just minutes. It's a freebies. The frame is made to accept the centerstand.

The coins a/o the washers are used as spacers. The spring is one badass spring.

 

i have the service manual in pdf i will have to look at it to see if it show where it would go and such.....thanks for all the help......if i have the bike up on a bike jack will i still be able to install it or will the jack block the are needed??? how did you do your install when you did yours?

 

When I got my '96 the centerstand was off. I put it on with the bike on the sidestand; only took a few minutes to do. Dunno if yours will work the same way.

 

my 90 has one. not sure if it was added or factory option.

 

any chance someone can take a pic of how it is attached?

 

My 93 has a center stand. When I put it on the lift it blocks it from coming down. Like Slothrop stated above try to do it while its on the side stand. Or get someone to hold the bike up right while you install it.

 

Trize007 could you take a pic of how it is attached?

 

Sure... Will do it this evening when I get home from class.

 

that would be great will help me locate on how to put in on and such...as the service manual doesn't cover 91-93 for a center stand.

 

i just got my 93 a few months ago, the center stand wont fit on it because of the TBR exhaust system on it, but the seller gave it too me along with the other stock parts. if your interested i might sell it.

 

jay956 i would be interested!

 

Page 221 of the service manual shows the centerstand.

These were options as were the hard to find seat cowls. Like many of the instructions in a service manual there is no step by step instruction on installing or removing a centerstand.

 

that is for bikes after 93.....badbilly....94-
