ABSTRACT:
A device for increasing the leverage on a motorcycle center stand to position it to support a motorcycle vertically. The center stand is pivotally secured to the motorcycle main frame and is formed of laterally spaced legs adapted to support the motorcycle on their lower ends in an at rest position. Upper end portions of the legs are pivotally mounted to the frame, the stand being normally spring biased on the pivot mounting in the upwardly non-functional position. A side arm on the stand extends outwardly of the motorcycle in the non-functional position and is adapted to move the stand downwardly against the force of the spring to a rearwardly-vertical position and then past the pivot center to a forwardly-vertical position against the weight of the motorcycle to raise the motorcycle to a steady at rest position with the lower ends of the stand legs on the ground surface under the motorcycle. There is a foot pad on theside arm adjacent its outer end on which force is to be applied to move the arm and stand to the at rest position. The device is a lever securable to the arm adjacent its outer end and by which substantially additional force can be applied to the pad and the arm to move the stand past the pivot center to the at rest position.
