  • Patent number: 4119327
    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.
