Finding my (electric) wheels

Hi all.
I have just bought myself a Haibike sl 29. Im after a good kick stand or centre stand. Can anyone recommend one for me. The frame is 50cm with 29" wheels.
Also, I would like a set of mud guards. I've seen plenty of them advertised but would like to here from someone who has actually fitted a set to this model bike.

Big thanks in advance.

Paul

Not so sure about a stand for a full sus bike.
I've used these on mine and my wife's Haibikes, both full sus.

They work well enough as long as the bike isn't really heavily loaded. Weak point is that the mounting bolts can strip the thread on the alloy body of the stand if overtightened. Easy enough to fix by drilling out the holes and using decent bolts with nuts instead.

Contact Raleigh as they now have the purpose stand and mounting plate in stock. Dealers selling Haibikes through Raleigh should be able to help you out. Because of the style of frame, there is not a lot to choose from that will work in the generic propstand market. I do not see any kind of center stand working. If you find one, please tell us.
