Posted September 13, 20177 yr Heck of a lot fairer price than the SW Motech offering. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/272609587200?chn=ps&dispItem=1
September 13, 20177 yr Global Moderator Is it really made of iron like the description says? I would like to see some photos of it mounted on the bike.
September 13, 20177 yr ehhhh I would at least go for the SW motech one as its a known brand and fitment problems should be non existent... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW
September 13, 20177 yr I have the SW one and that works no problem this one looks very similar but without seeing it in the flesh who knows.

Personally, a cheap azz kick stand would be the last thing Id chance. Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Fuss Life.
September 13, 20177 yr For me ebay is for cosmetic things like bar ends, mirrors and screens etc. Basically things that you buy and if they're no good you say some colourful words, regret spending $20 and get the proper one. Things like stands and rearsets are worth splashing out for as they are items where ptoduct failure is a big deal. A friend of a friend bought some cheap rearsets from ebay and his right footpeg snapped off during a ride we were on. Not saying it'll happen to you but if it does, good luck staying on your bike and if you do, good luck returning it. I guess what im trying to say is if you want to take the chance of walking into your garage to see your motorcycle on its side just to save a few bucks then thats your choice.
September 13, 20177 yr Looks like a clone of the SW Mototech one. $176 isn't much cheaper. If it was $75 I'd try it. Got new red 2015 FZ-07 on 7/22/16! Black 2006 Honda ST1300 53K miles.

It's priced too close to the "original" to be a knockoff. And I recently bought two things for my bike from SW Motech and was kinda disappointed with both items. $250+ for their centerstand is just to much, especially when I'm not currently a fan of theirs.
September 14, 20177 yr If SW Motech produced one with a lock (for when down), I'd have one. Just do it!
September 15, 20177 yr It is a knock off. heck try a bid of $80. If I didn't already have the SW one I'd try. Got new red 2015 FZ-07 on 7/22/16! Black 2006 Honda ST1300 53K miles.
September 15, 20177 yr FYI: I was able to get the SW Motech centerstand noticeably cheaper than revzilla from @bellissimoto which is a forum supporter. Edited September 15, 20177 yr by DewMan DewMan Just shut up and ride.
September 16, 20177 yr I can't speak for that center stand but I do have the SW Motech stand and so far it works just fine. It is a little pricey but when I think back on all the other expensive things (expensive to me) I've bought for the bike, like my Akra carbon fiber exhaust, my belly pan, my helmet, my jacket, etc, etc, it occurs to me I've already gone over the line for stupid spending a long time ago and paying a premium for the best shouldn't come as a shock and steer me away from what I deserve. Join the club and spoil yourself ... get the better of the two I say. Besides, how you gonna brag to anyone about a cheap product? Beemer
