Factory engine mount for a center stand??

[Goob]

I have been talking to JerryHawk250 about the center stand he fabricated a couple of years ago for Hawks.

My skid plate on the TT250 is too short for his design, but when I was scoping out where I could weld a horizontal pipe for the carrying bolt I found what looks like is a stock mounting location built into the engine block.

Take a look and see what you think. Seems that if this is a stock location, then somewhere there must be a stock center stand! In the photos the back of the bike is to the left and the skid plate can be seen on the edge at the right.

Maybe some of our friends in South America, China, the Philippines, etc, could check around since these bikes are so common outside the USA. It could be the same as fits a CG125.

If you are asking about the 4 tapped holes ,they are where a foot peg mount would go in a bike where there is no frame under the engine like a Honda z50 etc.

Thanks. Seems like these could be used for a center stand too. If they are strong enough for a foot peg mount, then they should be able to take the weight of the bike.

I am going to work on this.

Checked out CT70/90 stands and found this at $75.

Would cut off the foot pegs and lengthen the stand to the correct height. Not sure if it would be wide enough for the TT250 wheel/tire though. Going to verify the bolt pattern measurements.

That isn't meant for center stand but foot peg bar, I think stand is on the frame so it has no chance to break the bolts etc.
I have a "curved beam" bike and like your pic but the foot peg bar is mounted here and stand is mounted from the frame..

That could possibly work but the center stand may be too short. If I remember mine is about 13" long. Another thing to watch out for. Be sure to check the length of the bolt carefully. There was someone on this site a few years back that tried to mount something with those holes and ended up punching a hole through the case with the bolt when trying to tighten it.
