Dear docjones....
Urbestfriend is ashamed and appalled that none of us felt
impelled to answer this request in a timely manner.

In order to fulfill your worthy request,  I just personally
went out and measured this span on my XC 250 on the
center stand.  Both sides are 15 1/8" C/L to C/L (384mm/38.4cm).

Now...I think everybody else should confirm this.

Thanks Urbestfriend. That is to bad I'm looking for something in the 16 1/2 inch range for my new/used 03 Honda Reflex. I only bought this scooter because it was so cheap ($700.00) I had to clean the carb and gas tank but now it runs pretty damn good. I think the rear shocks are bad because it just bouces to much. It rides like a 60s Cadilac. Honda wants more than $200.00 a piece for thier shock and I think the Kymcos would be just as good if I can find the right size. Thanks again.  Tom
