Does anyone know of ANY aftermarket chambers that allow retention of the center stand? 3 into 3 or 1. It don't matter.
Loosing the center stand is a major PITA for any kind of maintenance on the rear end -- including simple chain adjustment

Re: Chambers / Center Stand Question
I know that the old Strader 3 into 1 was designed to retain the stand, so it's possible that the Omar's pipe may do too. With Chambers I would be surprised, but check out Higgspeed website just in case.

This video from a shop in the Netherlands shows a GT550 with a center stand & 3-into-3 chambers.

They look like Higgspeed but per the Higgspeed website you need to remove the center stand.

For some time now I've been trying to contact Omar's & have not had any success.
Called today & got the "mailbox is full" message.

Re: Chambers / Center Stand Question
If you are willing to modify your mainstand, it can be retained with Gibson / Allspeeds on a GT750. Essentially, the mod is to introduce a downward swooping loop in the cross piece that otherwise hits the centre chamber and prevents the stand going up. I had a pal modify a spare one

Re: Chambers / Center Stand Question
I have Jemco's and my center stand is still there, I just had to "feed" the pipes through when I installed the chambers.

Re: Chambers / Center Stand Question
I was moving a GT750 with JEMCo chambers around yesterday and had a quick look underneath and it looks to me as if the stand would fit without any issues, as long as the stand is on first and the pipes are fitted after. I already had pipes on and no stand, so I didn't bother messing with it.
For winter storage I'll put the stand and pipes on.

Re: Chambers / Center Stand Question
My Gibsons fit fine with the centre stand.
