Centerstand Question

[Anonymous]

Would anybody know off hand if a 82 1100GK centerstand would fit a
81 1100GL?
Any thoughts would be appreciated , Thanks

I searched on bike bandit, and it seems that they are different, as the 1100 GL stand has been discontinued, while the 1100GK has not

Thanks for the quick response !
I wonder what the difference is, if it is something that could be modified.
Thanks again, greg

the GK is based on the regular G model, the L is the cruiser model and will sit a bit lower.
the center stand for the L is going to be a bit shorter, how much shorter, I do not know.
on the plus side it is much easier to shorten a center stand than make it longer, the GK center stand can be modified to work.

you could mount it straight up, but due to being longer, it will make it harder to raise the bike onto the center stand.

That's kind of what I thought, but there should be no reason it couldn't bolt up. Thanks again, Greg

well it should bolt up, the problem is in the length.
the longer Gk center stand will make it very hard to get it up on the center stand.
but as I said before, you can cut it down to the correct length.
