As mentioned in another thread, a co-worker picked up a shiny new Wee Strom.  He ordered up the OEM centerstand and it arrived at the dealer... BUT discovered it had no paperwork or instructions after he opened the packaging.

I offered to go help him install it but haven't had a chance to get over there, so I have no idea what is entailed.  It could be very straight forward.. but maybe not.

Anyway - if someone has the instructions handy, could they take a pic or scan them for me?

Thanks in advance.....

There is an entire subforum on VSRI concerning centerstands and their installation.  That said.  Don't install it.  It only adds weight and drags in the corners. Just buy a pit stand for use in the garage.

As mentioned - it's for a friend and he just purchased it do it's definitely going to be installed.  He doesn't care about the weight.

What is VSRI?  One of the V-Strom forums or something?  I'm not a V-strom owner so I figured I'd just post up here thinking someone would have this info handy.....

 You actually need stromtrooper.com for all things Strom. You also want a centerstand if you plan to ever work on that tire out on the road! Kind of hard to carry that Pitbull around with you all the time. I have a stock centerstand on my WeeStrom. The hardest part is getting the springs on them. Do this by attaching a chain with a strong small hook on it to your wheel spoke in the 5 o'clock position. Then roll the bike forward with one guy while another guides it onto the stand pin. No hook will pull the thing....it is very strong. This makes it pretty easy but takes 2 people. It is the strongest (and most expensive ) stand on the market and fits perfectly even with skidplates.
