Interesting.... Nope never seen.

Interesting that it is a front center stand, thought it might be more effective if it was a center center stand. Guess the front is in need of better support lately,, things do change,, I just learned the other day that corsets are no longer used,,who would have thought????? but hey, it's my life and I have to live it.

I am not sure why you would want or need such a thing.

 

It may make front wheel removal on the side of the road a bit easier. It also looks like it would eliminate a couple of inches of ground clearance for going into and out of steep driveway ramps or in @cowpuc case reduced 2 trackin clearance.

Thanks Pucter.

 

I clicked on that link and wound up farting away an hour on Ebay looking at random Venture and RSTD stuff.

I like it but I need two of them. Do they have that many?

They are front ride off stands and were originally designed for BMWs back in the 60's. They were made and sold by Reynolds Accessories,the BMW dealer in Salt Lake city until sometime in the 80's. When the Goldwings got big they began the stands for them and then the Ventures. They are really well made and Reynolds had a terrific reputation back in the day. Had their own machine shop and everything.
