    Centrestand weight?

    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?
    I was born with nothing and shore got a heap of it left

    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.
    ITS ALL GOOD

    Don't know about the centerstand, but your numbers on the F6B are not correct....Closer to 845lbs with a full tank of gas...Regards

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

    Well this is just a guess on my part, but I can lift my front wheel off the ground with one hand when the B is on the center stand without much effort...so I'd say around 30 to 40 lbs are on the front tire when on center stand, mind you this is only a guess.

    The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

    I have a Park N Move dolly. A little difficult getting it up on it. If you don’t have the rear shock on the highest setting it will be even more difficult.
