Center Kickstand?

[Bookmon]

I have, since my first bike around 1970, called the "Center Stand" a
"Double Kickstand". All the guys around the block, school.... They called it the same thing; a "Double Kickstand".

Anyone else ever use that term? Or, is this a Southern Tuscaloosa, Alabama thing?

Never heard that one before. NY, NC, or OH.

Kickstand are for bicycles. Motorcycles have side stands, and center stands.
I have also heard of main stands, but that sounds goofy.
That main stand guy was from Alabama, too. Maybe all o y'all are goofy down there.

Oh phooey, it's a kick stand. "Side stand" sounds canadian :-P

Oh and never heard of "double kickstand" (sounds like a skateboard trick btw), as I've only ever heard it called the "center stand." (IL and KS)

Center stand also heard "shop stand" but never doublestand.

Double stand? Sounds like something out of the gymnastics class my grandaughter is in.... It's always been a centerstand (or centrestand if in the UK) to me, from Guam to MN and all points in between.

It is spelled centrestand in Canada too. And we also call it a kickstand. Side stand sounds goofy.

Center stand and side stand. Side stand sometimes referred to as kick stand. Indiana and Texas.

NM--center stand and kick/side stand mostly kick stand.

Wen all else fails, GO TO THE SOURCE.

Just looked in the fiche for your '85 GS450GS, Bookmon, the parts are listed as:

42100-44500 STAND, CENTER

and

42310-44500 STAND, PROP

So, there you have it, it's a PROP stand on the side.
