After powder coating the frame, the first thing I did was attach the center stand. The old one was in bad shape, so I decided to buy a new /5 stand from Hucky's (46 52 1 230 201). The old bushings did not fit loosely in the holes on the new stand, no doubt because of the powder coating. I used a rounded file to file down the powder coating on the stand and that did the trick. The bushings should be a little loose and not snug in the holes. I added a little moly grease to the bushings as I installed them. I also used a little Blue Loctite on the threads to make sure the nuts won't come loose.
I also replaced the rubber bumper (46 52 1 231 815) with a new one.
