Anybody Got a Centre Stand Stop/Buffer/Bung/WTF

[Cook1e]

Hi Chaps,
I have spent most of the day removing my stubby tailpipe, catalyst and downpipes and fitting a Laser Duo-Tech system (courtesy of MerrickCampbell of this parish). Only one exhaust stud to drill & Helicoil, result!

So, very pleased with the way it's all come together and the resulting free-revving performance is excellent - a different bike. Dyno here I come...

I may need to sort out pannier heat-shields and tailpipe extensions in due course, but my immediate problem is the centre stand stop which was on the catalyst housing. The Laser manifold does not have a stand stop like some of the Y-pieces I have seen, so the cross-brace of the stand is currently stopping on the manifold, underneath the sump.

Has anybody got a discrete/separate/standalone centre stand stop they are prepared to part with or information which may lead to the apprehension of same?

All advice, pisstakes, stupidity and irrelevance gratefully received

Last time I had this problem (not on a GS) I used a black rubber doorstop - fastened it to the stand.

Ta for that, I may use it if I can find something for it to butt against that doesn't run at 500 degrees C.

It might do if you can find a silicone one

or

Some sort of exhaust mount?

Silicone bush... now that would work, thanks.

Not polyurethane though That is meant for car exhaust hangers, not the hot bits.

Bashplate removed to fit the Laser manifold - that's why the stand is resting on the exhaust. Used Optimol TA on the lambda. Thanks for the tip for resetting the Motronic.

Not the same issue, but a good replacement for the standard rubber stop is half a broken sump plate mount, bolts onto stand and bobs your auntie

I live 700m above sea level but even in the dolimites which is any thing between 1200 and 2500m it would still run ok

Fixed! Cable-tied a length of high-temperature silicone tubing (sold as model aircraft exhaust tubing) to the centre stand cross-brace.
