I'm putting together a bike that has been on the back burner for a while. I robbed the center stand bushings from a wrecked bike that is serving as a donor. On the donor, there is a recess in the frame lugs that hang down and serve as mounting points for the center stand. Having no recess, the one I'm putting together must use a narrower bushing. I checked the main backbone tube of the frame and it has a second tube inside it, so I think that means it is not an early frame, right?

Does anybody know the scoop on the different center stand bushings?

Depends of your bike year. If you've got a recess I presume it's a monolever ?

The wrecked bike the stand came from is a 1983 R100. The frame year of the bike I want to put it onto is not known by me but I thought it was from the eighties.

Edit: It seems like the frame I'm trying to fit the stand onto needs some really big countersunk bolts. The stand bushing set I have has large countersunk bolts, and the bushing itself has a counter sunk area. That makes the bushing fit into a recess in the frame lugs and then, the bolt itself fits into the bushing a bit.

I think you've got the same setup that I've got on my 80 G/S
It only need a genuine bushing that incorporate a shim with an angle like a dish plate.

Chuey,
On my '75 R90S, I replaced those bushings with two bronze bushings I picked up at Lowes. The bushings created a perfect shoulder for the bolts and I was able to tighten the bolts and the center-stand still moved nicely.
