LOL. I think it will.
For what it's worth, it was a lot of work to get my 82 GS450 up on the center stand. It had been bobbed and lowered (frame cut and rewelded). The centerstand was shortened a bit, but not enough to make it easy. You either 1) really had to muscle that sucker with your upper body, or 2) try to leverage it back and forth, but in doing so almost always rack your shin on the footpeg once it got up on the centerstand. I often opted for #2 because I was face-beat-red dead tired after doing #1 a few times.
When I sold it, I warned potential buyers that they may want to plan to spend some money to get a kickstand installed. Most of them looked at me like it was not a big deal until they actually tried to put the bike up on the centerstand. After which they looked at me like, "Holy crap that's hard."
