Bruce has a brilliant travel stand that folds up to the size of a cigarette packet. We used it on our trip around the country to lube our chains, and it was a really quick job to throw the bikes on the stand and life the rear wheel and do the chains. We got it down to a fine art as we travelled, but it did mean that every morning we ate our egg and bacon rolls with chain lube on our fingers. I find breakfast just isn't the same with clean hands.

There are these sort of things readily available on the internet. I don't have a photo of Bruce's one and he is away so I doubt he has one either, but other members have something similar. It isn't a bad compromise if that is all you are using it for. If you want a centre stand to help with your packing (making sure everything is square), that is a different story.

Yep, that'd be the one! MAN it is familiar. I found the trick is not to forget to put the velcro strap on the front brake. The bike doesn't go anywhere, but the owner gets his cranky eyes on!

I've got one fitted.
You have to undo the pipes to fit - not a 5 min job.
As you can see, yes you lose the belly pan. I played around with making one up that would fit. It looked great on the right but left didn't look quite right.
Have no cornering clearance issues and don't notice it whilst riding.

In hind sight, would get Bruce's little stand and not bother with the centrestand.
