Not unless you want the whole bike to go with it, of course then you would have a GN250 with no center stand, so you would still be f@#$ed. I drove by one of these today, same color and everything, the guy also has a 70'somethin suzuki 250.

I will keep my eyes out for one since you volunteered to be the guinea pig.

65 bucks plus shipping and tax and shit is a lot to drop on a project that may end up being a pile of scrap metal laying in your garage.

I haven't looked, but do our subframes even have the necessary mounting points for the centerstand? There needs to be a place for the pivot (Horizontal bar from side to side) to mount to, and a spring mount. I'll get under the bike after work if I get a chance and take a look.

Well I think that pretty well blows the theory.
It is obvious that THAT ONE will not attach to our plate with the two holes.

Find a GN 250 and do a side by side comparison. Use a tape measure too. The stand in the up position would be the most critical. 65 and tax would be a dream come true if it works.

I know where one is, I think I will go look at it today if I can get a chance.

The news is not good. Went to the shop for my new air filter (which did NOT fix my idle problem, BTW) and there was a GN 250 parked by the building. Just like the parts drawing indicates, the center stand mounts in a long sleeve; nothing like the flat plate we have.

Looked at the plate again and I'm not sure it is strong enough to mount a center stand anyway.
