The center stand cushion is a component designed to provide cushioning and reduce impact when the motorcycle's center stand is deployed or retracted. Typically made from rubber or a similar shock-absorbing material, the cushion is mounted on the frame or directly on the center stand. It helps to minimize noise, vibration, and potential damage to the stand or frame by absorbing some of the forces involved when the stand comes into contact with the ground or retracts. This component enhances the durability of the stand and contributes to smoother operation and better overall performance.
