I suspect you cannot put the centerstand back on without some modifications,
because our mod puts those plates on the outside of the box, effectively
widening the footpeg mount distance by 1/4" or so.
Doesn't matter. The stand I had was real hard to get the bike up onto it,
when it was up a Mefo rear would barely clear on perfectly even pavement.
You couldn't ride off of the thing (which puts even MORE stress on the
mounts), and with a 130/90x17 like a D606 or MT21 the tire didn't clear at
all. I ride in rocky areas in the Sierra, so it would reduce ground
clearance and possibly get knocked off or damaged.
I don't need one. I have a hydraulic lift for use at home and on the road I
have a collapsible "third leg" thing I made that will allow me to lift
either wheel.

Only if I get to video it!
