Put on the Honda Center Stand today.

It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Slide it in place, easy. Get the washer between the frame and the new stand? VERY difficult. You have two exhaust pipes blocking your view and your fingers. That washer is a VERY tight fit. I was finally able to get it started by coming up at about the 7 o'clock position, and then I got a small screw driver on the edge of it, and taped it until it was at least in the plane of the stand/frame. Then a long series of taps to finally get it lined up so the rod could come though. Next up was getting the cotter pin through that side of the shaft and then the end bent over. Again, you can't see, you can't get fingers or tools in there. Took lots of fiddling to finally get it through both holes of the shaft, and then the ends bent back.

Back on the left side, I could not get the big and small spring to both fit side by side on the special bolt. I gave up, and just put the big spring on, and then I left the smaller safety spring hook on the "wrong" side of the rib on that bolt. Can't see what that will hurt.
If I put both springs in the correct area of that shaft, one or the other would be on top of the other, and it would rub the engine case every time I cycled the center stand. I know I didn't like that.

Glad that's done. Now I can take the rear tire of and put on my Pyramid Hugger.

 

I have to wonder if they have some variability of the spacing when they weld up the frame- others have reported like yours, but I found it totally straight forward. popping the wheel off is easy, taking it all the way out not so easy, unless you loosen and swing away the exhaust- but you don't need to take it all the way out to mount the hugger (not my Pyramid hugger, anyway... )
