    The trick I learned to helping getting the bike onto the center stand is rather than trying to lift the bike I just focus on pushing the stand and the bike away from each other.

    Getting back to thew original post, I use Cheapcycleparts.com to price check and order OEM parts. I totaled up all the parts from the center stand of the "2016 F6B "Deluxe" Stand" exploded view below to get $123 total. Would this be all I would need for my F6B?

    Stock/OEM center stands can be had for minimal $$ at a trike conversion place.
    Lots of forumites have done this to their Standards.

    I wonder where these ‘trike conversion’ places are...none up my way.

    I could use a spare rear wheel...

    You could ask your Honda dealer. If they don't do conversion's they will know who does.

    I'll sell you #3 for 50% of their price, ($45), just needs black paint on two spots. Pick up in Leander.

    Switchmonkey - Ebay has tons of parts, if you're willing to risk doing business there. When I bought my F6b from Honda of Russellville (Arkansas) in 2014, IIRC they do tons of trikes. I dunno if they keep those take-off parts or sell them in bulk to someone else, but I bet they could put you onto a source.

    DONE! Sometime next week I'll send you a PM to get a meeting place. I'm headed to Big Bend this weekend but could be convinced to do Lime Creek Rd next weekend.

I watched all the videos I could find and it's gotta be more science than strength?
    Mine is easier if I pull straight up on the grab rail. And ware hard soul shoes.
    Make sure the seat bolts are good and snug on the left side.
    ITS ALL GOOD
