Default Bike Stands

After selling the SV last September I have a collection of stands which I'm not sure I actually need

Have a GWS(??) one - this is the one that has a spike and screw that goes into the center of gravity bolt on the frame on the SV

and the other stands are just the ones used on track days that lift the front or rear

Now the FZ1s has a center stand .............do I actually need ANY of those?

Always best to keep them , your next bike might not have a centre stand!

I believe you have an NWS stand that attaches to the Swing Arm Pivot, not a Get Well Soon stand

I imagine a GWS Stand is some sort of home version of Traction for after a nasty off.

Thought a GWS stand was a pair of crutches....

NWS is the right name

next bike will be in 2 years IF and this is taking up space

plus I got the 2 other stands as well

so by your comments I assume it will be of no use to me for the time being

Anybody interested?

Depends. Will you ever need to remove the centrestand And will you ever have both wheels off. I wouldn't be without my ABBA stand (which does the same job as your swingarm axle stand), centre stand or not, it's just more stable and opens the options right up.
