When I got my 550 it did not have a center stand. I plan on buying one, but need to switch the rear sprocket out ASAP to pass inspection and get it legal. No one local has a rear stand for me to buy. 1981 KZ550 A2

2 car jack stands, one of each swing arm tube works just fine...

Lean the bike one way, stand on the lowest settings, lean back then place the other stand...

I plan on getting a center stand from ebay, but wanted something makeshift to use today. I was going to have my chain/sprockets replaced at the dealer b/c I cannot legally ride until they do (failed state inspection because of sprockets). Dealer said it would late next week before they had time, so I wanted to do it this weekend. FWIW, the two car jacks worked like a charm once I go the hang of it. Thanks for the tip.
