    I got one center stand bolt off-left-and it was really on there hard. The other bolt right side I could not get anything but a open end wrench on it because of the headers, then someone mentioned its got reverse threads on the right side? I was thinking of getting a new wrench 14mm and try that, but am I going to have enough room to even take the bolt off? its seem crazy I would have to take the headers off to get the bolt off! Has anyone had this experience? I put some penetrating oil on.

    Its beginning to look like you do have to take the headers off to get that bolt off-what a pain in the ass-I guess its really not worth the trouble! I saw a old post on this very same problem!

    At least I can now get the back tire in the air with my old r6 rear stand-I have a uneven wood floor so the center stand is no good on this uneven surface. So all that work was not in vain!
