Does anyone know how much weight is on the centerstand of a F6B when the bike is on it ?
Been thinking of buying one of those bike dollys
The F6B is close to 900lbs with a full tank and most dollys limit is 400lbs?
So been thinking when the bike is on the centrestand it may be less than its full weight?
Half at least?
You could get a good estimate by putting a bathroom scale under the front tire while on the center stand.
Sub tract that weight from the total weight [850lb].
Was going to do that my self but haven't got to it yet.
Don't know about the centerstand, but your numbers on the F6B are not correct....Closer to 845lbs with a full tank of gas...RegardsQuote:

How do you plan on using a dolly with the centerstand? The bike still weighs the same wether on or off the centerstand.

Mate I agree I have to have a 1in board under the rear wheelQuote:

How do you plan on using a dolly with a centerstand? If you put the bike on its’ centerstand on the dolly with the front wheel - the weight is the same. If you put the bike on its’ centerstand on the dolly without the front wheel on the dolly, how do you plan on moving the bike sideways? Sure it can be moved forward and backwards on the dolly with the front wheel on the ground but why go through all that trouble. Isn’t it easy enough to just mount the bike and move it? I am only 175 lbs and move the bike around quite often. The day the bike or the bike’s weight becomes a hassle to me is the day I get rid of her.
