Piero,
The Roadster stand has the "fish hook" to go around the low Roadster pipes. The SS stand does not have this.

The 1971 brochure clearly shows the centerstand on the SS with the same "S" shaped foot pedal as the Roadster. The 1971 parts manual shows only one centerstand part number (062192) for all models.
My friend's SS also has a standard style centerstand and it is original and unrestored. Although it would have been feasible that it was replaced at some time.

I see the brochure has it so my theory might be incorrect. I will take a closer look at my SS tomorrow, the fish hook / S pedal may have been cut off. Or a later stand fitted.
Hi.
My SS is all stock and the center stand is the same of Roadster one.
In the brochure there is the hook as you say.

Without hook is very difficult to stand up the bike, like early 1968/70 center stand does.
Ciao

I just looked at my centerstand and it looks like someone cut it off. A piece of round rod is still welded on the base.
