Gl1000 centre stand compatibility

[Mikethenang]

hello guys,

have had a look but haven't been able to find anything on the topic.

i am just started restoring an old 1977 rustbucket i picked up on ebay and need a centre stand to make dismantling the back end easier.

I have not been able to find any compatibility info regarding years 75-79, the part numbers differ but can anyone tell me which parts are interchangeable amongst models? i have read that 75-77 generally share parts but not sure.

thanks for any ifo

mike

My guess is that you can get a center stand for any of the GL1000's and it will fit. I also have a GL1K, a 1978 model that some lunatic of a previous owner removed the center stand from. WTF?? And worse - he bent the little arms badly on purpose to remove it. So I also have to buy a replacement and then see if I can re-bend the four little arms to retain the center stand, and there are no images or forum discussions on this. Ebay does have a boat load of center stands for you, and they are cheap. Go buy one and tell me how to install it

Thanks, appreciate the relly. I did get one on the end, from 75, gonna try it and see If it fits.

Cool. If you can post some photos that would be good for this thread. Not much on center stands here, and its a vital piece of hardware. If you need it, there is some good info on valve adjustments, timing, etc here. Getting your fuel tank clean will eventually become a priority for you, too.
