Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin - Centre Stand Installation

Detailed video of our centre stand for Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports.

You do good videos.

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

This was the best centrestand installation video I've seen to date. I love the stop bracket.

[@Outbackmotortek]

Thank you!

[@jaayling9835]

Excellent video, was a quick install. I found the best spring installation tool was the 17mm wrench needed anyways. Cheers!

[@Outbackmotortek]

Indeed a large size (17mm) can do the trick as well!

[@davidrahbany]

Yep. Best install video of the center stand yet.

Merci , Thank you

[@mardelplatalimousines3423]

Awesome 👌

[@scottlandmcc]

After watching your videos and reading reviews I just bought this. Thanks for a great video and I'll ty to do a small video of the install.

[@scottlandmcc]

Got it installed and aside from those springs it was an easy little upgrade for the bike. Thanks for a great video and product. Question though, no paper instructions with the kit?

[@themanisingh]

@@scottlandmcc Do you have issue like this Center stand touching the Swing Arm and damaging it like others do?

[@scottlandmcc]

@@themanisingh no sir. It fits very well, had plenty of spacing all around and had a rubber bump stop to keep it from bashing into anything. Really glad I bought it as it's very well made and hugely useful for maintenance purposes.

[@themanisingh]

@@scottlandmcc Thanks for replying :)

I purchased and installed your unit, using this instructional video. The right stop bracket I was supplied (3:40 in the video) is different than the one shown in the video. The result is thathe centre stand is not being stopped soon enough, resulting in the sharp edge hitting the underside of the swing arm. This happens with some force and has left indentations and chipped the paint on the swing arm where the foot makes contact. I have installed some additional washers on the rubber stopper and that has helped, but it s out at least 1/4 inch and that means the hex bolt supplied is too short. Anyways, I will make it work, but I did expect it to be less of a hassle, and certainly for it not to damage my bike. Build quality is good, but buyers beware and check this piece when you’re done to make sure you’re not having a similar problem.

[@Outbackmotortek]

Bradana Fisher Are you sure you have the 1100 version and not the 1000? What you see in the video is what we supply.

[@B.Ing.White88]

Same problem here with the 1100. How did you solve the problem? I would really appreciate an answer!

[@rossmehtala5395]

yeah i bought it as well and the piece is different on mine as well i haven't installed it yet but i dont understand why you would switch the location of the rubber bumper and not make a new video. I most certainly did purchace the 1100 one it says on my receipt 1100

[@rossmehtala5395]

every thing looks fine except the different bracket and the location of the rubber bumper. I purchased mine from mx1west

[@themanisingh]

@@rossmehtala5395 Do you have same issue??

[@robertowalther1753]

Hello Outback Motortek Team, this is a nice and easy video about the installation of the main stand. Two "little things" I noticed though. 1. the kick for operating the main stand seems to be unfortunately quite close to that of the side stand and 2. it also makes the impression for me that the attachment point on the main stand for the two springs seems to be a little tight / thin. Can you please comment my impressions. I would be pleased. Otherwise I am very curious what you will produce and present next for the 1100 Africa Twin. Keep up the good work! Thanks Oh one more thing, the part (the skin stand) seems to be quite massive, can you comment on the weight? I mean, this makes the bike accordingly heavier.

[@Mateusz19860]

Super 👍

[@hultll]

Damn, been fighting that bigger spring for 2 hours now, is hell when lying on the floor and don't have that self made tool. Does anybody have any tips?

[@CaptainNelson230]

I have a 2016 Africa Twin with an Honda OEM center stand that has broken 3 times, probably due to it rattling in place when going offroad. Does the outback version of the center stand fix this vibrating issue. Very interested to try outbacks version of the center stand if it is better then the OEM (which it pry is) Also will it work with an Altrider Skid plate?

[@themanisingh]

It wont vibrate as it rest on its own stop bracket. OEM one rest on swing arm and so its vibrate or move with swing arm. Not sure if this stand will go with Alrider's skid palte but it should as that skid plate doesn't go that far backward.

[@brawnphillip]

No skid plate, I assume this was removed for ease of installation, and the stand is compatible with the skid plate still.?

[@Outbackmotortek]

Phillip Brawn No, the skid plate does not interfere with the centre stand. We finished the development of the centre stand much earlier than the skid plate.

[@mt-015]

Guys, does this stand rest on the swing arm and move up and down like the stock oem one? Or is it totally independent of the swim arm?

[@Outbackmotortek]

MT-01 It’s independent of the swing arm

[@TheSolnake]

I think you have made a mistake at the 6:57 because spacer should be installed from inside, not outside. On this way the central stand will use a spacer to go up/down and will not try to unscrew the nut. About the spring attachment. I would recommend go the central stand down and then attach the spring. On this condition the spring is the less stretched.

[@TheFlemmo123]

If the spacer would be mounted from the inside the bolt would not provide any form of function. 🤣 not a stable centerstand..

[@leongous]

I bought one for my '19 ATAS and the ring on the right fitting does not want to slide over the round tab of the frame (3:50 in your video). Ring is just not big enough. Should I take the dremel tool to it and try and make the ring opening of the ring on the center stand a little bigger??

[@Outbackmotortek]

It’s possible that there may be powder coat inside the ring or that you just need some extra grease in order to slide it into its place

[@leongous]

@@Outbackmotortek Thanks, I will try and clean out the powder coating from the inside. Grease is not going to do it.

[@phunt810]

I used a dremel tool to lightly remove some powder coating from the center stand. Then I was able to fit it on.

[@SlowRider72]

Where and how can I order this stand?

[@zunix01]

The one I received from honda came with 2 big spring and 2 snaprings

[@somnathchavan15]

Why aren't uploading video of crash bars?

[@Outbackmotortek]

Somnath Chavan the crash bars video has been available for a while now. The centre stand production started much earlier.

[@somnathchavan15]

@@Outbackmotortek yes. I've watched all 3 part of the crash bar installation. My comment is 5 month old

[@eastman1369]

what is the mark of this center stand ??

[@1luckyleppy]

East Man pardon?

[@mt-015]

Can somebody from your company contact me I have emailed and I’ve also tried to contact your Canadian distributor nobody’s returning my calls or emails this new central stand stop bracket is manufactured incorrectly resulting in my swing arm receiving damage from the center stand 2020 Africa twin adventure sport thank you

[@bradanafisher1163]

MT-01 do you have any update on your comment?

[@Outbackmotortek]

Please send an email to [e-mail] with photos of the issues and your order number

[@B.Ing.White88]

I have the same problem. Any suggestions how to solve that? Thank you!

[@themanisingh]

@@B.Ing.White88 I guess by adding aditional rubber padding will increase the gap between swing arm and Center stand. Ordered one I hope they have rectified this issue for 2022.

[@B.Ing.White88]

If not, let me know. I found a solution for me.

[@RazorBrain1]

I'm just going to come out and say it. OBMT makes the best after market parts I've seen. I have the ultimate protection on my 21 AT. I have been having an issue with my oem center stand and honda has been giving me the run around. The circlip and the washer both came off of my bike. I have not damaged the bike or even dropped it. Luckily I was home so I was able to get it off and it didn't leave me stranded. The only option the dealer had was to order and entirely new center stand because they couldn't order a washer and cerclip. Cutting to the chase here. How is it after the first issue with their center stand on the previous generation a after market company can come up with a far better solution???? This is making me question Hondas fame for quality and bringing to light the issues that should have been fixed before the new generation of AT. I'll be ordering my new center stand today from OBMT and not honda.

[@themanisingh]

Even I have doubts on cerclip holding (indirectly) 250+KG weight on irregular surface. but OBMT should have opted for soluation where spacer should be welded on center stand itself and slide inside like OEM one and than nut bold to fix this.

[@RazorBrain1]

​@Mani Singh I think you're right. Just finished finally putting mine on. Been busy working on another project. The OBMT stand feels way better than the oem. I'm happy. It's the best there is as of right now. Really wish I could post pics
