i bought 1 of these stands & was satisified with it until i got the bright idea to start the bike on it. it's not strong enough so don't try it. the good side is that it bends back easily enough.
Yes, I also have an alloy centerstand.. My friend -- while I was not looking -- sat on my MB while it was on the stand -- this should not -- in most cases be done... Other than that -- a pretty good stand -- as I have already on another thread rated it C- Would buy again -- Happy Riding from - Mountainman
