New 885i owner just saying hi for now

[benebob]

Picked up a 99 885i with 18k on the odo last week.  So far happy as can be after retiring my daily rider 71 Honda CB175 to a garage museum the week before.  Will have plenty of questions, etc. in coming weeks as I will probably do a complete fluid change and valve adjustment as I don't know if the 12k was done or not  As for now I'm in the market for some factory bags (black would be more valuable to me), bag mounts, valve tool and a center stand.

welcome,

most if not all your questions can be answered here without even having to ask

http://tigertriple.com/forum/index.php/topic,5025 (http://tigertriple.com/forum/index.php/topic,5025)

and try http://www.twistedthrottle.com (http://www.twistedthrottle.com) for a center stand

valve tool is not needed to check the clearances
it's good if you need to reshim a couple but you can also pull the cams to do it without a tool .

as the bikes get older it is harder to find stuff like factory bags ...........

Thanks for the link.  As for the SW Motech centerstand.  It doesn't list one for 99 but I'm guessing that is a misprint.  The 99 885i should be the same as the 2000 right which it lists?
