Center Stand: Cali II vs G5 (and Swingarm)

<< < (2/2)

guzzisteve:
I have seen them on your model, crossover should work. Might have to modify brackets.

Groover:
I just wanted to do a follow up on this for other in the future with the same question. The California II centerstand won't work on the shorter Tonti frames without some modifications. The Cali II stand is a little bit taller (maybe 1"), but the problem is that the middle brace (the tube that connects to two sides) is lower on the California II and it won't work on the shorter swingarm tonti frames because that brace hits the tire when the center stand is in it's riding position. The stand can be made to work if that center brace were to be moved up an inch or so. I'll post a photo soon comparing the two type.

Two Checks:
The inlet on the upsweep mufflers is straight so the upsweep shouldn't matter with the SP x-over as it is short. The SPII x-over is the same and I have it on my Cal III with the upswept mufflers. Fits perfectly.

charlie b:
Center stands will be different for some models as you have seen.  The one for the T5 is shorter, probably due to the 16" wheels.  It is really too short as it does not raise the rear wheel fully off the pavement.  One day I will fix mine, but, not today  :)

This.

I did a write up on the differences a couple years or so ago with pics of several variants lined up.  Side-by-side it's easy to see the overall length, cross brace placements and the types of kick bars in the different versions.  My conclusion then was that the long wheelbase stands interfere with SWB rear wheels, and that there are several styles of kick bars to suit your mufflers and personal preferences.
