【HONDA】Main Stand Review

Cb400Sf main stand

Wow item is very easy to fix and solid too. Shipment is fantastic! Super fast shipment! Definitely will purchase more! Thanks Webike! View detail

The upright position gives it a nice old car feel.

[How is it used?
?When I do some tinkering with my motorcycle, it is easier to work and clean with a center stand, and I thought it would be better for my motorcycle to be upright.

Was the one you received as per Image?
It was more solid than ?Image. I think it is indeed OEM.

Was the installation difficult?
?Rubber was hard to screw in, so I applied detergent and put it in a vice.
?I had referred to a YouTube video on how to install the spring, so I shaved about 3mm off the spring and bought a tool to pull the spring beforehand.
?Spring was attached by pulling at the end, but it took a lot of force and was tough. I bought a tension spring hook just for this.

How was your experience with it?
?Of course it's very nice; you pull up the Grab Bar while putting your weight on the protruding part of the STAND, which is quite heavy. But I feel secure because I'm not standing on one leg, but standing firmly.

[Included Parts:were they on?
?I had everything in order. I prepped everything on YouTube to see where and how to use it.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
?Motorcycle is used but the Center Stand and Engine Guard are new, so it looks almost like a new car at a glance. I am glad it is as I expected.
?No disappointments at all. The only thing is the high price.

■Points of installation and hang
?Spring should be hooked up and installed last. Also, the Spring pulling tool costs 500-600 yen, so you should definitely buy it in advance. It is quite difficult to do because there is an exhaust system nearby.

Availability and clarity of Instruction Manual
?I don't think there was an Instruction Manual to begin with. Everything was taught on YouTube.
?Honda, please thank YouTube for their help.

Notes
?I don't want to knock over the Motorcycle by doing something wrong in the first place, so I always hang a chain block from a beam in the back of the ceiling. (Chain block was bought to move garden stones.)
Again, using the Chain block, Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) I put a rope through the bolt at the top of the rear shock of the motorcycle and lifted the rear of the motorcycle up to make it easier to work with. Also, at first, I asked my wife to stay on the other side of the motorcycle so that the motorcycle would not fall over. It is good for those who have a variety of tools, but those who work with a minimum of tools need to be careful not to let it fall over.
? There is a Motorcycle shop on YouTube that has installed a Center Stand on a CB400SB, and you should definitely watch that and learn before you do it. Also, he is very skillful and lean.

Items to buy together
?Tension spring hook (like a spring puller)
?In my case, it is an early NC42 CB400SB, so I needed Grinder or sandpaper.

Opinions and requests to ■Manufacturer
? On YouTube. Instruction Manual contains …" but the flimsy Quantity written in English Version:It only contained 1pc. of paper. the Motorcycle shop on YouTube was much clearer.
?Motorcycle is a used 2011 model, so I originally planned to buy a cheap used Center Stand and install it, but there are few people who can buy the Center Stand Body at a reasonable price, but I couldn't find the SpringOthers' Included Parts:Quantity. However, I could not find many people who were selling them, and I could not find any other Included Parts:Quantity other than the Body.:I don't know where Set is sold, so in the end, even if I could buy Center StandBody for 3000-4000 yen, I had no choice but to buy it new for me, because I couldn't do anything if I couldn't get decent Included Parts:.
?? Also, there is no mention of Center Stand in the Parts catalog or anything, so it still seems that Included Parts:is hard to get, and it is hard to understand how to install it, and if Motorcycle shop can install it for about 3,000 yen, from today's experience If a motorcycle shop can install it for about 3,000 yen, I think it is cheap enough. But if they say 5,000 yen, I think it is a bit expensive.
I think it is still a great product as an ?OEM Product.
?It would be helpful if you could mention the OEM Center Stand in the Parts catalog if possible. View detail

Excellent OEM Centerstand

Installed on a 2014 Honda CTX700. Bikes should come with centerstands from factory we all know this. Especially if they have the mounting points for them. Finding one for this bike was unusually difficult. Retailing at around $200 + shipping. This was a cheaper option at $150 with the chain stop shipped. Not to mention Honda built. Can't go wrong. Now brakes jobs and chain adjustments are a breeze. View detail

Good product for CB400SF, Revo 2019 model

Product fits nicely without the need to remove the exhaust pipe. The tech fixed it up in 10 mins and commented the ease to fix it up compared to those after market main stand. View detail

I feel more centered!

Shouldn't all chain drive bikes have a center stand as stock? I think so, so I added one to my 03 Honda CTX, and I am very happy with it. I looked up some videos on Youtube to help with the process, and it all went well, although securing the spring was more difficult than I thought it would be. A ratchet strap did the job, but the spring is really tight. Overall, I appreciate Webike's price and shipping. I got the stand stopper as well, it's essential for my bike. View detail
