Easy-Up Lever

MotoMachines · Jan 12, 2016

The Easy Up Lever is the perfect solution to help make putting our bike on the center stand easy. When you put the bike on the center stand, you constantly find yourself grabbing something to help ease this process. This Easy Up Lever folds out when needed for ease of use. This eliminates having to grab near the engine and other parts of the bike that may be too hot or not strong enough.

$114.74

Edited for correct pricing, looks like a little bit of dyslexia was in play!

Great idea, but $141.00?? No thanks.

Was quite honestly thinking the same thing when I made the post. Looking into why it's listed so high...

::026:: I'll spend the extra 0.5 second lifting the bike.

Yeah, that's where I pulled the price from. I sent H&B double-checking price on this.

They would have to come down to about 1/3 that price for me to consider it. I'm sure the they won't come down that far if they're intended MSRP was really $142.

I have a Centerstand-Aide http://www.centerstand-aide.com/product/CAKLR650-200 for my KLR and it well especially when the KLR is loaded. Looks like Robert does not make one for the Tenere but someone could ask.

I don't 'pull up' to lift the bike on the centre stand. I 'pull back' with the right hand on the passenger grab rail and using the left hand on the handle bar for guidance . The upward force comes from stepping on the centre stand. It was a bit terrifying in the beginning, but now it's second nature.

The more weight you put on the center stand, the less weight you need to lift.

I use the rear grab handles as well to slightly pull the bike but mostly to steady it along with the handlebar grip. Almost all the force required happens on the center stand though to be fair, I'm probably heavier and stronger than the average rider. I'm not really seeing where this would be helpful unless it was used on a bike without grab rails. Maybe it's made of titanium or something which is why it costs so much?

Companies like Touratech wants $50 for a simple sidestand foot so the pricing doesn't shock me.

They must think the rich blood is on the forum hanging at Star Bucks!
They are fishing for the high price to pay for the CNC program set up and material cost and then after a few stupid folks buy them they will drop the price.

Honestly I have a tougher time getting it down in my garage due to the floor paint, I can slide the bike in any direction on that floor.
Then I see the floor is scratched to hell!! ???

My ST1300 has a similar lift handle and it's very convenient. Indeed most of the lift comes from downward pressure on the center stand with your foot, but having the lever directly above that point improves your body mechanics/leverage. In spite of being about 150 pounds heavier, I find the ST13 easier to put on the stand. Maybe I could farkle something up myself for a few bucks.

Just remove the plastic cover front of pass peg support and you have a great lift point!

I can get a fair bit of weight on the stand.

Thanks for that info. That actually makes sense, as our listed price was supposed to be $114.74, rather than $141.74. I guess it was just entered wrong! :

They are a lot cheaper here,

That's the manufacturer, they don't ship direct to U.S. customers.

Wanderer · Jan 14, 2016

Howdy,
At that price I'll be ordering one. It will make getting the pig on the center stand easier when you have camping gear strapped to the passenger seat and getting a hand on the grab rail is tight. :-*
