Good day, sirs.

This is from Korea, and my first writing in CB1100 Forum.
I don't use English in my routine so please excuse my poor English.

Well, I bought and Installed Moriwaki Full System Exhaust yesterday.
The exact Product name is 'TWIN MEGAPHONE STAINLESS STEEL'.
Sound? Good. not too noisy, but it has good feeling vibration.
Design? Good for me. It seems very typical classic design I think.

Btw, it has one problem.
Original Center stand is unavailable with this nice exhaust.
When Center stand is up, a part of center stand touchs Silencer.
(pease refer to attached image file.)

Moriwaki guides that I have to remove centerstand but I hope to use it continually.
I searched centerstand stopper however I can't be sure what is the exact and right thing.

Can you give me a good advice to solve this problem?

Find where the stock stopper is. Perhaps you can make one of a little thicker dimension so that your stand arm doesn't hit the muffler. If that will work, be careful that the stand doesn't drag during hard cornering.

You may be able to use the yoshimora RS3 center stand bracket. The yoshi bracket bolts directly to the bottom of the bike and is seperate from the exhaust. I know they sell them seperately. This may be an option.
I cant tell how low that exhaust is on that side, you have to take a pic further away to see more of the bike.

Thx for your advice.
Let me check RS3's bracket!
I couldn't find what is the stock centerstand stopper.
I'll check it at Bike shop.
Thx!

What he said! I have the Yosh RS3 and the center stand is stand alone. It'll work with any exhaust. Call Yoshimora they will sell you it on it's own.

If you are into performance, just remove the centerstand. You can get a nice rear stand for the bike, which will support it with rubber blocks under the swingarm. I have been using one of those for about two years. Very easy to use once you get the procedure worked up and honestly far less chance of dropping the bike. Also more cornering clearance and you lose a few pounds of weight, and cleans up the lines of the bike.

Quite dangerous to put a thicker block to lower the centerstand, quite dangerous. If it grounds out unexpectedly you may crash. This bike doesn't have much cornering clearance to begin with. The design of your exhaust requires removal of the stand, obviously that is the case and there is a reason for it. Don't get yourself hurt over a pipe.

Centerstands are handy, I have owned dozens of bikes with them, but if you are not doing long distance rides where you have to stop and lube the chain or perform maintenance they certainly are not needed if you can get the bike into your garage and do the work there.

I use a front/rear race stand setup on this bike to do all maintenance and also creates a bit more room in the garage to walk around.
