If it is, has anyone seen an aftermarket centre stand, or can anyone suggest what it might be for? I'm mentioning this because it seems that a centre stand would raise the back wheel off the ground, or alternately, would this be a good jacking point? I'm thinking along the lines of adapting the top of the jack with a couple of pegs to fit the 2 holes, to keep the jack steady. I'd really appreciate any input on this before I try it.
