    I have a set of F1s on my 85 500, and the center stand dosn't sit right, It looks srtaight, but hangs down to far. Anyone else have this problem?

    I have a V&H exhaust on mine.

    The center stand is removed and I simply use a standard sport bike rear wheel bike stand instead.

    Saves weight - more stable to work on it that way too.

    Thanks guys. I just installed the stand though, cause the old one was beat. Not sure if i'll keep it on though.

    Does the stand hang lower or higher or just crooked?

    Hangs lower, dosn't match up to the exhaust, the way it should.
