I'm thinking about adding a centerstand to my Nevada 750.

Not sure it's worth the price of a new one, and have not been able to locate a used one.

Anyone think it's a definite add? I had both a side and center stand on my 81 LeMans and 83 R80.
But that was a long time and the brain cells have faded.

Thanks
Chris
 
I'm all for centerstands. Makes roadside repairs easier. Handy in the garage too.

For a used stand you could scour Ebay. Reboot Spares, a Guzzi salvage yard in France, was breaking up a Nevada a while ago. I don't know if it had a centerstand. Reboot is run by an Englishman, so language isn't a problem. Just shipping charges.
 
Been scouring Ebay. Most of what I've found so far is incomplete.
But did find a rear rack / back rest awhile back.
Wife's about ready to throttle me on the expenses, so just trying to keep it down.

If your trips are taking you farther than the nearest ice cream parlor, I'd recommend one.
It'll make a perfect repair- and service stand.
And in addition the bike take much less space if you need to park in tight spaces.

I have one on my Breva 750 and wouldn't be without it.

It makes filling it up with petrol easier if nothing else. Plus I use it whenever I have to remove a wheel to change the tyre, or check the oil,

If you are in the US and you have a US pattern sidestand, be aware that it is longer than the rest of the world one, and you will find you have to lower the side stand before you can lower the centre stand, because they interfere. If you get the standard pattern non-DOT sidestand, it isn't an issue.
