Center stand question

I didnt pay mine much attention until i started fixing scuffed or bent/broken parts from my little slide but my swing arm bounces around quiet a bit. I dont care for the noise or the thought that it could bounce in a corner and mess me up .
I remember that I used to pull them off and use a swing arm bolt through the mounts when i needed it in the shop.
Well mine takes two short fat shoulder bolts to mount it so if i use a through pin Im sure it'll mess the treads up.
This puts me back to keeping it on there and i really dont want to weld anything to the frame.
With the factory exhaust it has a bumper to hit on but with the header that of course is gone.
Anyone dealt with this and came up with a viable solution?

My Kerker exhaust came with a u shaped piece with rubber stoppers:

A home made version by someone else:

My V/H has a bracket on one of the muffler mounts. Looks cheesy but it works.

Those bumpers wont work on mine. but it does give me something to chew on. thanks

I have a homemade bracket as well. It basically serves the same purpose as the stock bumper but had to be added due to the Kerker pipe.
I'll try to post a picture tonight

Finally removed the center-stand from mine to experience the ride without it. It will stay off until needed for service or storage.

I took mine off to save weight and for a cleaner look years ago too..... might bite us if we need it along side the road but that's what my truck is for. Can put it on and remove it in about 10 seconds in the garage with the shaft only.

Sun's just coming up over the mountain. Took a pic of mine. Could be made easily enough but I want to do something else.

Ha Steve got up with the sun today too (4:30) ...... I've got 3 cats that get up at the break of dawn every morning..... usually I can go back to sleep but they kept me awake this morn....

The early worm gets the bird. :woohoo: My highest energy is in the morning.

Not a very good picture but best I could do laying on cold concrete

Basically the bumper (actually a rubber cork) keeps the center stand in the same position and out of my chain. It bolts onto a piece of aluminum angle which in turn is bolted to the old exhaust bracket.

Both of those look good . Thanks guys.
