The 2014 center stand return springs were relocated from the side to the center.
Here's the stand out with Yoshimura bracket, and return springs. The springs will hit the stand when it retracts. Others have cut the bracket in two pieces leaving enough room for the springs. Not sure how that will hold up over time.

Here's a shot without the springs, loosely on the bike

At this point I'm leaving the center stand off, and will likely add this to the winter project list. Initial thoughts include some sort of stop/bracket that utilizes the stock center exhaust support (not used for the Yoshimura system).
Really like the exhaust
. Not loud, but has the look & throaty sound I was after.

Razor, a few questions. I don't have my CB yet (but soon) so please forgive my arrogance. I'm getting a 14 STD.
1. How much louder then stock is this exhaust?
2. How much did the stock exhaust weigh vs the new one? (Weight savings of...)
3. Is there a side stand in addition to the center stand? Or did you have to add an aftermarket stand along with the new exhaust?
Looks great by the way.
Good luck with your new bike. You won't be regret it. Most fun I've had riding in a long time

Yeah but those mags don't have a useful reason to be there. A rack does. Function over form once in a while....

OK, how about I use a car with roof/bicycle rack as comparison, and mags? Like you see Audi A4's and BMW's running around with bike racks too

It does look out of place, but I agree with George "function over form". Used it again to haul oil home from the dealer. Really does come in handy.
