Anyone have a center stand on Aipas M1 or M2 Pro?

I tried one but had clearance issues. This one might work since legs fold up on one side but might not be stable when deployed due to narrow spread.

legs fold up on one side

The other one was likely hitting the chain. This kind folds up to the left and I find to be plenty stable. Adjust the feet so about half the bikes weight is resting on them.

Are there any cheaper?

That seems to be the only option. I almost ordered one but decided to wait until after I hear from Aipas. I can live with the stock side stand anyway.

I ordered one of these from Amazon Japan

Canceled the order as I don't think it would clear the tire.

Perhaps ????

Well I ordered one to try and fab some kind of mount to position it at the right height.

Maybe even a block of wood.....to lower it since the Fetch2 has 20 inch wheels. With the wood block I can carve out clearance for wires.

I'd use aluminum bar stock on two sides.

Yes, maybe something like 'L' stock for rigidity. Or maybe hollow square stock and held together with M8 hex cap screws. Last time I used 'L' stock was to move the headlight on a Como from under the basket to the front.

Angle stock would mean that there is a vertical frame member to mount this to. I would not use anything hollow with the force that the mount has to deal with.

This stand did not work with my Aipas M1 Pro

Well surprise surprise. I had ordered several aluminum bars but it turns out this stand mounted right up the the included stock hardware.

So I decided to make a better looking and more secure upper plate...

ready for paint

now it is green

So after further testing I do not recommend this center stand for the M1 nor M2 and have removed it from my bike. It is much easier to use the stock side stand so save your money.

So today I thought I would try one more thing and shortened the legs one notch up from the bottom and reinstalled the center stand. The result was that it did deploy easily now but the stability side to side was questionable. I removed it as it was not as stable as the stock kickstand so my previous recommendation stands. Not recommended.
