Already have a garage with a Handy-Lift, so home maintenence
is not the issue. I am more concerned about being able to pull

Subject: (klr650) Center Stands
There has been so much discussion of center stands that I decided to
publish an article on the KLR Home Page that Gino had done for the news
letter.
The article/review has a description by Gino as well as a picture and
the contact sources for each of three stands discussed.
you can find the article at:
