Cost of center stand

[stepbill]

I saw where HOR is selling a center stand on ebay for $114.00 including shipping. Is this a good price? For those that have installed their own center stand, was attaching the spring hard?

Scored one off e-bay for $25.00. Mounting hardware was additional $30.00. Using flat washers between the spring coils made installation a breeze

stepbill, most of us that are buying the centerstands, are paying anwhere from $ 25.00 to $ 100.00. I got mine from HOR...was found on ebay, but I called them directly, and bought it, shipped to my house and total charge was $ 10.00, and it did include everything needed...meaning all the parts kit.

You do need to make sure the one you buy has ALL the parts and pieces, or...you will have to find them elsewhere.

You can do like bob109 did to install the spring, or like I did, which was simply to use a spring tool, or a phillips screwdriver, and stretch the spring just enough to get it to slide into place. Easy peasy.

An alternate to attaching the spring is to use a piece of strong twine with 2 small loops one at each end. One hooks on the end of the spring the other attached to the screwdriver Miles suggests. The twine allows you to maneuver the end of the spring to attach it easier. the screw driver let's you pull on the spring to stretch it. Mine was a tough stretch. That combination "got er done". That's also how my local mechanic does it. "For What it's Worth". ncf6b
