CH80 Scooter kick stand?

Question

I just bought a Honda CH 80 Elite, it does not have a side kickstand. I called up the parts department at Honda and they said they cannot install one after market. What can I do? I have a really hard time putting it up on the center stand.

Answer 1

scooters are light enough...just go to a pushbike shop,they sell lots...somthing will fit..ide weld you one on if your local...

Answer 2

Learn how to use the center stand - you don't have to be strong.

Have you heard the saying "lift with your legs, not your back"

Let your leg muscles do the lifting.

Left hand on the left hand grip.

Right hand under the left side of the seat.

Using your right foot, press down on the center stand.

Center the scooter so both feet of the center stand are touching the ground.

Stand your body up so your right arm is fully extended.

Keeping your arm extended, stand on the center stand.

It's like you're standing up from a squatting position.

Get a friend to help hold the scoot while you practice.

I've seen girls 5 feet tall, lift Honda Goldwings onto their center stands.
