Rear wheel stand

I hate that center stand. Anyone any recommendation for a rear wheel stand?

Well the Wunderlich bike lifter art-no. 5524050 advertised to be used for the GS is a bike lifter not to buy.

It can not be used from the left side as advertised



obviously constructed to be used from the side were the shaft drive is.



I paid S$ 220 / US$ 150 / Euro 104. Money wasted, this item is useless for the GS.

Just curious what your aversion to the centerstand is?

Exactly 3 kg. I don't need it when I ride.

DAMN!!! That 3 KG bother you that much??? And I know people that put skid plates on the Centerstand!! You obviously trying to keep yours as nimble as possible. I guess I just like the convenience of it... :thumbup:

Am I a bit unreasonable here? I am using it at home. I used the rear stand first, but I found the center stand does the job better most of the time. And big roadside repairs? Not for me. I managed to live without a permanently fixed center stand since 2002. BTW my GS is 254 kg with full tank, 3 piece luggage, and everything. Pretty heavy.

If you don't need it for road side repairs then I can see your point. I just have not been that obsessed with the weight of my beast :thumbup:
