Exactly, test out the ideas and demand here, then, if it seems prudent, take it out to the rest of the world. At least with the "low google hit volume" GZ250, a google search for parts would turn up anything we put out pretty easily.

Things like a backrest bracket, trunk plate, etc, would be pretty simple, low build cost items, and would lend themselves to small volume production. No real tooling or high production costs involved.

A centerstand brings a couple of problems, though. first and foremost is liability. If it's not perfect, and fails, serious injury and damage can result. also, it would require a bit more fabrication, to a lot higher tolerances, I would think. Still, it's something I'd like to try, at least for our group.
