Centrestands / Chicken Strips

[rgarrioch]

Anyone fitted a 'Wemoto' centrestand? Thinking about ordering but they don't look very substantial - my old Fazer 1000s stand seemed much beefier. Any comments gratefully digested.
Also, while I've never been a slave to chicken strips, my front Tourance is almost to the edge, while the rear has 15mm or so to go - does one need to be careful of the lean angle one is achieving?! Sorry, new to the joys of comfy bike ownership - loving it so far. Thanks in advance...

Wemoto one is SW Motech, and comes highly recommended. Easier to use than the Honda one, and perfectly well up to the job. It's no lightweight piece of tat!

As for the chicken strips, fret ye not. All you're observing is that your front tyre has been designed with a flatter profile than the rear. Even if you continue to lean until the rear chicken strips have gone and the edge of the front tyre is hard down (as opposed to just touching) you'll still not lose the front so long as you're on the power.

No need to be careful of the lean angle, but as the AT is squidgy, I'd be careful at the rate of turn-in to avoid upsetting the suspension.
