center stand for Ducati Desert X

It is made specifically for the Ducati DesertX. Fitment can change between model years, so if you're unsure about yours, send Machina your bike's year and a photo on WhatsApp before ordering.

It is built for everyday riding on the Ducati DesertX, including rain, heat and rough roads. For the exact material and finish, message Machina on WhatsApp and we'll confirm the specification before you order.

It bolts to the Ducati DesertX's frame mounting points and is held up by a return spring while riding. You'll need the bike supported while fitting it, so a workshop is the easiest option if you don't have a paddock stand.
