Side stand pivot bracket.

The centerstand is hollow tube. The sidestand is solid. I think they weigh about the same with all the hardware. The early, non-braced ceterstand might even weigh a bit less than the sidestand!

If I had to chose having just one, i'd prefer a centerstand every time.

Heavy centerstand? I'm thinking it might weigh 2 ot 3 pounds spring hardware and all. I'd rather give up a few of the donut breakfasts' than loose the convienence of a centerstand. Its pretty handy when you have to patch a flat by the roadside.

Just for you my friend , mine weighs out with the spring and mounting hardware at 5.31 lbs .
I got rid of the rim lock too , after it caused a puncture from small chafing . Years back .
CAA to the rescure fom here on in . New rescue radius is 200 kms . , or in your A.A.A. situation , 124.274 miles .
Enjoy .

Last good trip on my Commando was Gettysburg PA to Shady Valley TN and back with a few hundred miles of mountain riding between there and back. No AAA to yhe rescue, no chase truck. Its a road goer not a show goer, I like to have all the advantages I can get.

At home always start on the centre stand because I have to. On the forecourt: side stand as I am unwilling to risk the bike falling over in public. When hot it is usually roll it down a hill.
