Constand Centre Stands
« on: August 08, 2018, 17:58:32 »
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience of these - Coming out at just over £100 but is it a case of buy cheap, buy **it

Never heard of 'em. Don't know if I'd buy owt from "CON" anybody?
Seriously, though, have you checked out Cosmo Accessories? They do discount for forum members, y'know.

The small picture is a Honda Varadero 125, when I clicked off the site I had a pop up offering me 50% off with a voucher code for the stand.

Yep - I am cautious as very cheap compared to OEM and other aftermarket manufacturers - hence caution

I can't comment on the centre stand in question, but I have one of their centre lift stands which I use for my RC8. (Unfortunately they don't do an adaptor kit for my Vee). The stand seems to be well made and works well.

I bought one of their bike lift stands for my CBR, got it at a discount price of £70 on eBay, normally £200 plus, so did not expect it to arrive, but it did arrive and I can't fault it.
This is what I bought, I know its not what your looking at, but I had no issues with the company.
