Can the stock center stand fit with FPP pipes? Center stands are so handy when working on the bike. It is a ‘72 H2.

Thanks
Mark

I doubt that you can retain it.

Stay in it when it comes on the pipe, no need to be scared...

Not on an H1D.

Yes, a pain but each pipe is 1 pound!
The silencer is 1 pound.
3X2 gets ya 6 pounds with manis gets ya 8 pounds.

No center stand add 4 pounds. 8+4=12 pounds



Compare to stock...?? gotta weigh these stockers eventually. STOCK H1-E PIPES 32.5 POUNDS. DONE

32.5LBS-12 LBS= 20.5 POUNDS SAVINGS

H1D is very similar to the H2 in '73


As far as I know, the weight compensates for the lack of low end.

As a plus, gets the damn weight from the rear end!


High bars and rear bias makes the H1 a "wheelie monster". No thank you.

And the answer is, yes! It fits right up there between the pipes and doesn’t hit anything when retracted. I will have to put a rubber buffer on the stand lever to protect the left pipe when the stand is up. That is the only place you can see the stand on the bike.
