Did the dealer forget to install a center stand?

[gfnk106]

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?

Welcome and congratulations on the best bike you'll ever own.

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.

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.

Check eBay. I got a new one and hardware for $100 shipped.

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.

Thanks for the tip! I plan on buying a center stand in about a month or two. Going on vacation this week and I am taking the bike, so I will wait a little bit before I make that purchase, but I will be keeping an eye on Ebay.

NO

NO
Bought my 2013 bike new in fall of 2015 (non deluxe model). One week later I had the dealer add the centerstand, passenger backrest and the heated grips. It is now an almost deluxe model without the self cancelling turn signals, which I don't really miss anyways.
The centerstand is nice for cleaning the bike and for checking rear tire air.
There are a lot of great ideas on here for more "can't live without" items.
Best bike on the road.
Safe travels!
