    I scraped up my front crash bars in corners. Scraped up the heat shields and acorn nuts that hold them on. Had to replace the driver peg sounders. Only time I got the center stand was doing a track day. The track had a nasty dip coming out of a corner that you needed miss. Got the right muffler on that spot also. So no for most riders. You may hit it if your not carefull going off a square curb.

    Cool. I may end up getting a center stand. I just ordered a vented 19 inch slipstream windshield for my f6b today, and I am 6 ft. tall, but I am starting to wonder if that windshield is going to be too tall. Only one way to find out I guess.
    Happy riding, and keep her shiny side up!

    The center stand is a must have, imo...best add on I did to the bike. I say that mostly if you're willing to work on your bike, such as oil changes and tires.

    I've dragged the center stand a few times from dips.

    As previously stated a center stand is really handy for a lot of DIY projects on the bike. Add one asap

    It may just line up slightly below or in your line of vision.

    Yep. We'll see how it is and if I need to send it back for one that's a little shorter, that's fine too. Just want to get the air flow dialed in right. They really need a power windshield on these high end Hondas.
