Hi All,
Not long bought a small Honda 125 superdream which I am recommissioning/restoring for my daughter to get in to biking come springtime. I restore and own several bikes, but of the Italian variety. Probably not the correct thread to ask, but I do need a centre stand for the little Honda. Thanks all. 😊

Hi lloydy, welcome to the forum. My wife had a CB125TDE until last summer, had to sell it as the bike shed was overflowing  . I'm surprised there's no centre stand, I thought they all had them as standard, and the side stand was an option & even then only available in certain markets. Ours only had a centre stand, which was no use to my wife so I had to adapt a side stand to fit. Maybe the centre stand was rusty/damaged and a previous owner found it easier or cheaper to find a sidestand. Either way, if your ok with just a sidestand that's fine, you don't need a centre stand, although I find them much more convenient than messing around with paddock stands etc when you need to remove a wheel or even just lube the chain |

It does have a side stand and missing the centre stand. There is the through spacer left in place, although somewhat bent. The bike is for my daughter and you are exactly correct why I want a centre stand back on it, to assist in maintenance etc. Cheers Dave |
