That 2 piece one is great idea too.

I take a piece of 1" wood about 20" long slide it through and have a jack stand on the right side and put a small jack under the left side. Not as fast but it works.

That's awesome. Been thinking about something similar. Recently installed DGs and already miss the use of a center stand. I just remove the pipes for now.

I cannot see the video now, as the satellite link on my ship has limited bandwidth.
Are we talking about pit stands/garage stands for cleaning and maintenance, or a regular center stand of a chamber friendly design?

chamber friendly design . its a 2-pc setup.

I have a similar setup to the posted solution. Basically it makes the bike easier to work on for simple tasks. My father actually came up with it. I posted pictures of it on the old forum, luckily those photos are still in my imgur. It's gotten a little short over the years, a piece of plywood helps to gain an extra half inch if I need to turn the wheels. There are two sets of frame bosses, a forward set, and a rear set, so I can take get either wheel off the ground. I can try to grab a video of it if people are interested, but it's not too difficult to put the bike up on the stand by myself.

Center stand for pipes would be a great product for our welding / engineering folks on here to make. I would be all over one.

It should be possible, but the center stand and pipes would both need to be designed to acommodate the other. After all, the RZ (RD350YPVS) has a center stand and expansion chamber style pipes.

Is the rod in the same slot as the original center kickstand?
