SW-MOTECH Centerstand (Honda 919 / CB900 Hornet)
The must-have accessory for sport-touring! Greatly eases basic chain maintenance, tire changes, parking, and bike cleaning. Super-strong steel construction features typical German design and high engineering standards. Superb integration with the factory exhaust and sidestand components -- retain all existing features without sacrificing lean angle or clearances.
All hardware needed to mount the centerstand included. Typically installs using basic hand tools. No welding, cutting, or drilling of existing frame or body parts required. Tough black powdercoated finish with some gray fittings or hardware as applicable. A double-retention spring is included as a safety feature to prevent the centerstand from contacting pavement if one of the two springs should fail during a ride. Unlike the Honda OEM centerstand, installation of the SW-MOTECH centerstand does not require removal of the exhaust system! Designed to work with OEM components -- we cannot assure fit with aftermarket exhausts or other accessories. California-model carbon cannister must be removed to allow for installation of this product.
Special Note:We do not recommend installing centerstands on bikes with a lowered rear suspension because use on a lowered bike may result in:
- ground clearance & cornering clearance problems, and
- difficulty in lifting the lowered bike onto the centerstand.

Admin note: This is a dedicated thread for discussing the SW-MOTECH Centerstand (Honda 919 / CB900 Hornet). I have been using this centerstand for 3 months. I have not had any problems yet. I even rode FL to AZ three times! The left stand leg is designed to be a little bit bent not to interfere with the chain and the rider's leg. This also gives a little more space around the chain sprocket. It is good for me because I am converting chain and sprockets to different sizes. I think it is a better choice than the OEM centerstand which has a straight left side stand leg. Costs almost same too. Caution: You need a spring stretcher to install the centerstand springs - the springs are tight! SW-MOTECH offers a spring installation tool - maybe it's a good idea here. T-handled hex keys wiill help more than L-handled hex keys during installation; some of the bolts are difficult to access without them. Neither the SW-MOTECH centerstand not the Honda centerstand fit California models of the motorcycle unless the carbon canister is removed.
