It grabs under the footpeg bases between the little spring and where the footpeg bolt goes into whatever is supporting it, the plate in your case. You'd have to measure how much higher your rearsets are relative to ground level compared to a stock height. If they're too high you might be able to get by by using a 2x4 chunk of wood, in which case I'd put a similar chunk under the handle so the stand doesn't over-rotate and give the potential for the bike work work it's way off of the holding pockets on the stand.

Will it work? Maybe. Ask in your local Stormfront and see if someone local has one you can try, or if someone local will buy it for your costs if it doesn't work. If you were local to me I'd say to ride on over and we'd find out right quick if it will work or not.

I have that stand. I don't think it has enough height for those rearsets without the wood trick. I'll post the vertical reach and you compare it to your peg height to be sure.

Is there a spacer between the relocation plate and the frame where the original peg mounted? If so you couldn't you use the spot where it was originally intended to be used.

talk to "smoke", check out parts for sale and check out the add for the center stand that currently has 12 replys (there is another center stand that is more recent with less posts) if you check out the correct one look for "smoke"s (username) reply, sounds like he has one and uses it on his bike with rear sets but lifts at a different location, i think he's got your answer

I use that stand with my rearsets... an old American Sport Bike set. I machined two small bobbins to bolt on at the stock peg location.
