    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Centerstand stop for GS1100E - need pic or info

I really like having a centerstand but since my bike has the high pipe out of the turbo, the stand hits the chain, so it's temporarily off. When I'm riding it I think it's not contacting much, if any, but when rolling around without me on it, it scrapes. So I think just a bit of extra clearance would help.

I have read in the past messages here that V&H provided a stop with their 4/1 which is just a simple device that bolts 'somewhere' underneath and does the job. Same thing would work for mine I'm sure, but I don't know where it would mount to the bike, what it looks like etc. Anyone have one of these and can share a pic?

Sorry, I can't do pictures. It's pretty simple. A metal or alum. strap appx. 3/4" wide & appx. 7" long. hole in top end to mount to inside of rear foot peg mount, bent in a slight bow to go around inside of pipe, then bottom catches on center stand. I think the one from V&H had two 45 degree bends to make it miss the inside of the pipe.
 
OK thanks that helps.

This metal bracket that connects to the rear left foot peg did the trick. Not sure if that's what you're asking for...but here are some pics:

Thanks for pics Ed and link Greg. I was thinking something that mounts at the pivot would be clean and simple, not sure if that's an available part or a one-off. Either would be fine so I'll figure out which way to go.
 
It was a part supplied by Kerker with their Super Street pipes.
Nice and tucked up out of sight. Worked great.
