Re: Centre Stand wanted UK buyer

Just ordered a centre stand and assembly parts for my ROC.
A year without one was driving me crazy.
Do you have any assembly tips?
Thanks chris

Re: Roadster bars

I have roadster bars on my rockster and have no issues with any cables and that includes heated grips.
I am 6' 2'' and am happy with the ergonomics, especially less pressure on my wrists on day long rides. Thought about bar backs but decided against.
Hope this helps

Hello Forum A Newbie needs help. I bought the 2004 ROC used. I didn't notice that it had no centre stand. Every BMW from my r6o to r1100r had a centre stand. Bummer!
