26" Cruiser centerstand is there a preferance?

[Deleted member 25783]

Been looking around but it seems a wiser course to ask our forumites what which is the strongest and least tippy center stand. Name names please or links to a good one. I am doing my first build on a Huffy Classic mated to a 49cc 4 stroke Bikeberry kit. I wouldn't be asking but the Huffy side stand does not like to stay locked.

This is the best one I can find.
It is sturdy and best of all it is 11" across where it touches the ground.
Most are only 7-9" across.

JGH122,
Excellent recommendation ! Amazing what all Amazon offers. Thank-you for the link.

I prefer this style, because it sets up like a "V" style when down, but when kicked up it folds together and tucks up on the side like a conventional kickstand.

Here is what it looks like on my bike. Link

bamotor,
What is the opened footprint of the kickstand? I am open to all solutions and I think it is good to create more resources in this forum. Thank-you.

I like the 'M-wave" as well - partly because it is articulated, and the legs fold inward towards each other when it's up.
Also. the legs are individually and easily adjustable in length with no tools, in case you encounter uneven ground when standing your bike up.

The stance split is 9 inch. and the height is 11.5 inch

Here is how it looks folded up.

After looking at all different types of center stands I have taken JGH122's advise.
Amazon got an order yesterday. The wide stance and sellers reduced price made the deal.

I'm not using a center stand, just a side stand.
Are these strong enough to bear your weight to start start the bike and let it idle?
