Lol, the center stand was my first thought as well  ;D

I wonder if its a case of "great minds think alike" or "fools seldom differ"  :P
i was thinking about center stand yesterday lol, not for experia tho, but for ss9+

I am wondering if center stand from other bike can fit
I didn't know the SS9+ has a spot for a centerstand. I only have the 2020 SS9-, no place for a centerstand, AFAIK.

I'm thinking it'll take time, unless you saw something else??

This time last week the scuttlebutt was there'd be an announcement by last Friday and there's been nothing so I suspect someone jumped the gun on something that wasn't yet in black and white.

I dunno, would it be wise to have the weight of the bike twisting and turning on the aluminum bottom of the battery case like that?
Seems to me that it'd be better putting that kind of stress on the frame instead.

My 2023 Experia has a CS hole in the frame for the left side, but only one hole in the aluminum alloy on the right side. Two holes total.


None in the middle. Since yours has three holes, I would say perhaps it is for a centerstand, but I am not sure, I have not seen a centerstand yet that used three holes to mount

I believe those ears on the 21.5 battery case were intended for a center stand. The battery case was redesigned at some point in production eliminating them.
I managed the conversion of some EsseEsse9 bikes for police use. In addition to outfitting the bikes with an emergency lighting system they requested center stands. We worked with a local motorcycle fabricator named Todd who runs Sonic Moto to design an build the stands. He was planning on producing the stand for sale but I have not heard an update on the project. It's a really elegant solution that uses the 4 mount points the rider foot pegs attach to. 


For the Experia the stand was fully engineered and a small batch was produced. Suspect the financial situation played into the part not being put into full production.
I have not seen one in person but a number of Experia that were built for police use had them installed. There are 2 mount points located on the motor case

Dang...that looks like a nice design for the 21.5...my bike has the mounting points and they are rather substantial thinking group order will certainly entice fabricator...if there is interest we should start a new thread...proven design for LE bikes...

Looks like a Ducati single sided swingarm modification...this guy is hip...

These images have my creative juices flowing.  I'm going to try mocking something up.  Do any more pictures of the centerstand exist?
