Hello - I am thinking about removing one of the stands from my 2007 GS 1200.
Before I potentially undertake this, I wonder is it an act of complete folly? If so, why? Any opinions much
appreciated.
The main reason I am doing it is I don't really need both stands, one or the other would do,
and I am thinking removal of the centre stand would be best as it's the biggest and heaviest,
take a few kilos off there. It may seem daft but I just don't see the need for both for me. However,
I am happy to be told I am being an idiot for good reasons if there are any?
I have looked on youtube, there seem to be videos how to do it, but if I am really barking
up the wrong tree and it's a bad idea then please say I will sack it.
If you have done it yourself and think it's okay then any tips on how to do it, particularly how
difficult it might be to put back on, would be great.
Many thanks!
