    Did the dealer forget to install a center stand?

    Yesterday, I purchased a leftover blue 2015 f6b. I did not purchase the deluxe model, but there is no center stand on my bike. Do you have to buy the deluxe model in order to come with a centerstand, or did my dealer short cchange me?

    Centerstand comes on Dx only. You should be able to find a take-off for a reasonable price. Check with someone who "trikes" wings. I just picked one up this wkd with all of the needed hardware for $70. I think mother Honda gets around $140 just for the stand. Other discussions on here have talked about getting the stand for $35-40 but I think you still need to buy the hardware.

    Ok. Thanks! Do you know if the center stand will limit cornering clearance?

    Nope. I've scraped a lot of parts, but never the center stand!

    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.
