Just finished installing a center stand on my new 2015 Valkyrie. Total costs incl shipping = $177.00
Listed in the photos are the parts I used, all 100% OEM. Found the exhaust shield and center stand on EBay, the hardware I ordered from BikeBandits out of San Diego. The EBay parts were like brand new, no damage or wear at all.
The most difficult part of the job was replacing the exhaust shield, about 2 hours. Installing the rest was super easy, about 1/2 hr.
Three hints = 1) Take your time on the exhaust shield, the front trim and side trim have to come off. Easy to remove, a pain to align and reinstall
2) Be sure to order the 'bumper', this keeps the stand from contacting any other metal when retracted. 3) Most aggravating of all, the right side stand bolt is left hand threads. Goes in super easy when you're turning it the right direction.
