Drive chain as a centre stand stop!

Peterwh
Coils someone please take a photo of the stop on their centre stand.  I realized yesterday mine is using the drive chain and I'm not sure what the configuration should be.  Thanks

That's pretty common on these bikes. I will take some pictures later. I just have a piece of 1/4 X 3/4 X 6-7 inch long piece of metal bolted to the left passenger side foot peg. It's pretty easy to do. vintagecb750.com sells a kit, for this also.

The stop is normally on the bottom left exhaust pipe if you have the K model. It was a metal bracket that stuck out from the pipe with a rubber stop on it.

One thing you could do is either make some sort of bumper for the stand or remove the stand. Only downside of removing the stand is if you get a flat, you are kinda screwed. If you go on a road trip, you could always pack it though.
