the center stand is never going to touch the ground first if the bike's suspension is not loaded.

I imagine that a "Perfect Storm" would have to happen here in order for the centerstand to contact the pavement. You would have to be at full lean angle, and hit a low spot in the road simultaneously bottoming out the suspension and contacting the centerstand.

But I imagine that is a stretch. I still have intact feelers on my pegs.
