Yep, some '03s have broken (resulting in a fall over) when putting them on center stand. They broke on the left upright just below the cross piece. Yammy did replace them with the '04 & on improved stand which has an added inside gusset (see below) welded at a 45 degree angle between these 2 pieces. Lotsa twisting on the upright leg where they were breaking when putting them up on stand...Later,,,De :)
