When I saw this questions asked on the migcruiser forum people posted links to building a stand out of 2x4s 
I once saw a Marauder with a centerstand, but it was home-built, as no one makes a bolt-on aftermarket one specifically for this bike. Here is a link to a fabricator who makes them for the Intruder 1500 LC, but he could probably make for for a Marauder as well. Or show the pics to a local fabricator and they could make you one easily enough.

Well I looked at this and it appears to be more of a display stand. Just to hold the bike up as it is in the front of the bike. Wouldn't do much good when trying to get the bikes arse off the ground. I think I am going to do some comparing and see if I can't make a stand from another bike work. Sound like a winter project to me though. If i'm lucky someone will start to make one between now and then, but I doubt it.DrBob said:
nice cheap solution trapper. sounds like it might be a little bit of a pain getting the bike up on it though.
i know one of the auto places here (like pep boys or something) is selling a bike lift cheap (30$ IIRC). my friend told me his dad just bought one and he is thinking about getting one too.

Hey I just bought an aluminum bike lift with adjustable supports so that the pads move in and out. The supports are about 2 feet long. Being aluminum it isn't as heavy as a steel lift and the unit's handles are push button releasable so it breaks down easily. It also has a bar that when you get it totally up in the air it locks in place with the bar. There are tie down rings on it as well so that you can strap the bike down.
I bought it due to the fact that I have to store my 1500LC is a 5' by 8' shed and once I pull it in I have to jack the bike up and rotate it in the shed to get the doors shut. It pick the bike up without any trouble and I am able to push it around VERY easily since ithe lift also has casters on it. VERY stable lift.
I bought it at a SAM's club here in Atlanta for about seventy five dollars. I know it isn't a center stand,, but I am able to totally get the 1500LC up in the air with out any thought of a problem.
If you want to I can get the name of the company that makes the lift and post it tomorrow.
