Really appreciate the time and hands on effort you have done to make this great instructive video. Just bought a 2022 MG V7 Special and I am going to get a center stand for it - this looks like it will save a lot of pain. Many thanks for the UK. Regards Jim

Thanks for this video and explanation. I bought the original center stand for my v85 and it just comes without any useful information about the assembly. Just a note that it must be carried out by specialized staff following the instruction manual 2S001335 which I could not find. With you video it was done in 15 minutes. The way how you solved mounting the spring was useful and made that easy. Many thanks from Germany. Robert

I remember installing center stand to my Aprilia Pegaso back in 2007 or 2008 in the middle of the street, using my bare hands to extend the spring... It was winter and my hands were freezing. Good old days...

Hi Cubbysue, it appears you are using the MG pannier side supports? I just picked up a base V85TT without these. In your opinion are they strong enough? Many pannier supports connect together with a bar in the rear. These appear to not have the bar? Thanks in advance for the info. Blaze on.

Mine have 4 small m4 bolts that hold them to the bottom of the frame and two more m4 bolts that attach at the passenger foot pegs. They are strong enough to lift the bike to put it on the center stand. The upper box mount has 4 m4 bolts holding directly to the frame. They all feel very solid, I have no complaints regarding the way they mount.
