    If you want a sensible and practical mod go for a center stand, not much "cool" factor but they are really good and hardly notice able when up.
    Both wheels can be removed at the same time and maintenance and cleaning is made simple ,far superior to paddock stands.

    I think they’re plenty “cool” having just installed one on my 2020 RS haha.

    Hi there!
    I'm thinking of getting one of these. Did you get the sw motech one or is there another for the rs?
    Was it a pain to fit or best left to a garage?
    Cheers for ANY advice (on the stand!!)

    I got the Motech stand. It fits and works great! A bit pricey but worth it. The instructions aren’t the best I’ve ever seen, but it wasn’t difficult to fit. I recommend it for sure.

    Never had a center stand till I got the wee street twin, very underrated accessory!

    Add hard seats with an optional accessory comfort seat to the list!

    I fitted the motech one as well , easiest way to fit them is to turn the foot pegs over and then put axle stands under them to support the bike while you fit the stand.

    My Abba stand was used for something other than storage/display purposes haha. It’s definitely a handy lift to have.

    Brilliant- thank you; screen feels like a good call along with the mirrors and I am very tempted by the Low Boy exhaust idea.......i just need to look around as there seems to be loads of options and I'm no mechanic so it needs to be something easy for me to tackle.....

    I didn't let you know what mirrors I went with but I really like them. Interesting, they have no glass in them but instead the reflective part is highly polished aluminum. They are Motogadget M.view "Blades". I don't think they make that particular model anymore but here's a link to the Modogadget website and you can read about how the mirrors are made and see the available models. Have fun planning and shopping, @Herbacious! And please post pics as you continue your mods. :)

    Edit: Oops! Forgot to include the Motogadget link, @Herbacious. Here it is.
