center stand help

[barmstro]

I've got a GS1150 with a 4 into 1 supertrap exhaust and no center stand.
I'm thinking about buying one on Ebay to use when I want to check
or lube the drive chain.
I know it won't fit on the bike in the up position,but could I put it on
only when needed ?
Or am I better off buying an aftermarket stand for maintinance?
It's a pain removing the supertrap to get my jack under it.

I think it may fit in the up position.
I have a 4into1 supertrapp on the gs1150 and it fits fine WITH the centerstand.

My 1st 1150 had a supertrap on it when I baught it. Hated the pipe, cause the centerstand had to be removed or the pipe wouldn't fit. Also the exaust gasses blew on my axel nut & end of the swingarm, & made it look dirty. Traded for a V&H, put the centerstand back on, and no more dirty looking axel. Back to the orig. question, I think I did what you are asking about with my 1150 before I changed the pipe, but I know for sure it works on my KZ 1300 KAW. cause I use it that way every time I need to get it up, get the bike up. Just my opinion.
