Hi, Need advice? I want to get rid of the centre stand and fit a side stand. Can anyone please recommend one. Thanks

No idea about side stands for 8inch wheeled scoots.What I will say is: they make it easier for the scoot to fall over, can cause the engine to be hard to start ( flood because,carb float sitting sideways 😉) and If they have a spring that makes them auto close,it makes them a fecking nightmare to kickstart.
I only use them on cutdowns, because of lack of floor.😉

Salty, he's right. But I would have thought you could start with one for the PX and start with that. If I remember rightly it has 4 bolt holes and the stand is on one side (obviously.... 🤔😩🤣) start with seeing what bolt holes line up if any, and make it fit your scoot without drilling the floor.

I was more thinking about the angle the scoot will sit at, using a stand for a scoot with ten inch wheels, not sure if you can use one or you can buy one for using with 8 inch wheels?

Thanks for the feedback- it’s now on 10 inch wheels and was just thinking a side stand would look better ? If I keep the centre stand I need new rubbers for the stand as it’s wobbly ! All the sidestands on eBay are from India ? I will look for one that fits but thanks again chaps for feedback 👍
