2024 Kawasaki KLR 650S best centerstand

[toffeefan]

My nephew just got a sweet 2024 Kawasaki KLR 650S, and he's already looking to make it maintenance friendly. He asked me about Happy Trails center stand

He's trying to find a good, adjustable center stand to make chain lubing and tire checks way easier.

He did some digging online and it seemed like Happy Trails had exactly what he was looking for.

But the problem is tht he's having a tough time getting in touch with their customer service, and it looks like pretty much everything on their site is out of stock.

Well, he found one in Xitomer website, but the price tag on that one has him a bit worried, and guess what? Also out of stock! Yeah, frustrating!

So, what do you think, guys? Any thoughts on whether Happy Trails is still a reliable option, or if they're basically a ghost?

And for anyone with a 2024 KLR 650S, what's the best adjustable center stand did you go with?

This isn't the first time I've heard about someone experiencing long wait times and poor communication with Happy Trails.
It seems they might be having some serious issues with their inventory and customer service.
Try checking SW-Motech and T-Rex Racing.
They're both good options for an adjustable center stand and highly regarded for their quality and ease of use.
Both should also be available at various online retailers!

Do you want the stand mainly for at-home maintenance, or are you looking for something durable enough to handle trail use and roadside repairs on longer rides too?
