| My recently acquired swing is missing the center stand, which has made initial maintenance a little more difficult then it should have been. No idea why it's missing, maybe a previous owner had a trike kit on it? Looks like I may be missing some brackets. Does anyone have a pic of how a stand attaches? Thanks in advance. |

Meandmymonkee,
I don't have a picture, but I looked at Partzilla and they have a blowup picture of all the parts of the stand. That might give you an idea of what is involved. If you can contact the previous owner maybe they still have it.
Good luck with your problem since the stand would make maintenance so much easier.

| Looks like from your pic that you have a bolt snapped off there are four bolts that attach the ctr stand brackets these are very tight to undo 14mm socket size if memory serves, just had a look at one i am breaking up and you do have a broken bolt is the one above it ok ? (two bolts either side) that broken bolt will be a pig to remove |

| Agree about that bolt I'm sure it's has some thread lock on it. Heat is a good way to remove it. MAP or propane torch and try a left hand drill bit properly centered. Get it hot enough it might walk right out. |

| you are in luck as i have a Silverwing 600 that I converted to a trike and in order to do so, they had to remove the center stand and right now I have it in my garage. if you would like to have it you can as I'm in Florida and you just need to pay shipping to get it to you.

. I still use my center stand when I remove the trike to do maint on rear tire, belt, etc. The previous owner gave me the stand, but had lost all the bolts and brackets. I was able to get them on Ebay. |

| That'd be awesome mslinda! Post purchase maintenance was far more complicated than it needed to be without the stand. I'll send you an email. |
