Center Stand Stop for "Y" Pipe

[Tundra Dweller]

Greetings, the 2002 R1150R now has a 2 into 1 GPR exhaust. Trouble is there is now no center stand stop. I've searched the forum and the web with no luck. While I'm all for ditching the stand it is nice to have for touring, wheel changes etc. Has anyone fabbed a bracket or purchased a stop?
I'm growing weary of installing it for maint. on the lift etc.
I do have access to a manual milling machine and enjoy "making chips".
P.S. I have NEVER experienced a heavier stock exhaust system !

Center stand is indispensable as far as I am concerned not only for tire changes and other maintence but loading and un loading while traveling. I think you will miss it greatly.

I have the staintune system on my rockster (Oz) and it has a chamber under the engine that lets both cylinders feed into it then the outlet to the can. On the chamber there is a tab welded that serves as a stop for the center stand.
I don't know what you have but something that is welded/connected to the pipe that runs under the engine is the only real practical way to do it.

Thanks for that.
The GPR Y pipe that came on the R is just that, a Y pipe from the stock outlet pipes to one outlet then the muffler. It IS clean, light and free flowing.
There is no way that hefty stock breadbox is going back on.
I was looking at possibly fabbing a Bracket off the brake torque arm bolt on that side. Using a longer bolt to facilitate the Bracket.

Yeah that stock stuff is HEAVY!!!
Hope you find a way to keep the C stand!!!
Keep us up on the progress 'cause I think its worth it!!!

BTW I had one of the first Mach III in SoCal,(1969 blue streak), road the poo out of it on some very long trips back east to TX and TN. Never had a problem w/it.

My brother had a 750 triple and used to beat the guys at the Kawasaki shop (Norm reeves maybe??) don't remember.
When the Z1 came out they tried everything to beat him but never did at the old Lions Drag strip ( I think..a while ago).

I finally ended up with it..fast and thirsty.

Will do!.
Yeah a "friend" told about the H-1 sitting in a machine shop as a non runner. Short story I got it running right away BUT it needed crank seals and as I dug into it connecting rods and wrist pins due to pitting. The pistons and cylinders looked great, recent re-build with Wisco pistons.
I turned into a Mad Max Rat cycle. Here's a fly by just after re-assembly...8 years ago. Note the snow and excessive smoke from assembly oil.
I have so much work into it we are legally married in 37 states.

I have a locked up '72 H2 Motor in my store room from a couple parts cycles I bought for next to nothing. The H2 was totaled (front end). I sold the rear fender, cowl and wheel for twice what I paid for the parts cycles. I should make a go cart out of it! Ummmm...maybe not a good idea.
