Having bought the Basic Model F6B it came without a center-stand The stand was one of my first purchases. Bought it off E-Bay for a mere $25.00, a fraction of the cost of a new one. As the stand came without mounting hardware i.e. spring, right and left hand threaded bolts, those items were purchased separately from from Wing Stuff for $30.00.

As I do all my own "wrenching" and fabrication there, IMHO, is no more important and functional item than the CS. Having the bike in a true vertical and level position whenever performing tasks is priceless. Never owning a previous cycle that was equipped with a CS, I now realize what I was missing

I'm now in the habit of putting the 6 on the CS whenever it's parked in my garage.
