I get a length of 295 mm on my C and 300 on one of my standards with a tape measure but the C is sitting on a sheet of cardboard that the stand has pushed into so 10 mm is likely close to correct
This is measured from the pivot centre to the ground.
The middle three digits of the part numbers refer to the bike the part originates on.
The 415 number in the middle of part numbers refers to the original CX500.
The 449 numbers refer to parts altered or developed for the C and D models.
The part numbers in this instance will not change without the part being altered in some way.
My measurements tell me the C stand is shorter though the change in number could also have been generated if the kicker was changed to fit around a different muffler.
Both of my Cs have shorter centre stands than my standards.
I've never encountered a 505 part number on these - though some parts like the special clutch plate originate in other machines and are numbered as such. In the case of the plate 286 refers back to its first use on a cb450 dohc.
