Installing the center stand is easy. I just put one on my 2002 bonnie. It came off my wrecked 2001. One thing that made it easier is to keep the stud that holds the "C" bracket loose, until you get the double spring hooked on thole in the stand. It allows a bit more slack and you don't have to pull the double spring quite as far to hook it. Then tighten the nut holding the stud. I don't know about any other maker of center stands.
