Help!! (re: Centre Stand for 885i)

[Moorso]

Dear All

I have been having a nightmare getting a centre stand for my 2000 885i Girly.
SW Motech assured me the 955i one would fit - but it doesn't...the sump etc is different. My mechanic is very patient (thank God!).

Does anyone know if/where I can get one that fits the 2000 (transition) 885i model.

Also....will these engine bars fit?? See link here: http://www.motorbikesandparts.co.uk/hepco-becker-black-engine-bars-for-triumph-tiger-after-99-2000-501703-00-01.html (http://www.motorbikesandparts.co.uk/hepco-becker-black-engine-bars-for-triumph-tiger-after-99-2000-501703-00-01.html)

Please help!
Many thanks in advance

Just buy the stock Triumph Tiger center stand,re the bars you want Touratech.

Before my 885i was crushed I looked into a center stand only to find the stock one discontinued.  Ended up getting paddock stands.

Thanks guys

Those bars will fit

I don't think the Steamer stand will fit otherwise I might have been able to help you out.

The stock Triumph stand fits both 885i and 955i I swapped mine over when I changed bikes,just a case of trawling ebay and waiting you do see them on there.

Great help guys.......I'm looking at a stand from the states that seems to be a Triumph part (believe it or not Triumph UK have been less than helpful!) This is the stand: http://www.triumphmcparts.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=1183589&ukey_product=9931060 (http://www.triumphmcparts.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=1183589&ukey_product=9931060)

John....Jack Lilley told me that the bars they have (which look remarkably similar) wouldn't fit my bike (see the link here: http://www.jacklilley.com/buy/Jack-Lilley-Engine-Bars-2001%3E2006/JL709011#eq1 (http://www.jacklilley.com/buy/Jack-Lilley-Engine-Bars-2001%3E2006/JL709011#eq1)) I'm so confused! 

[John Stenhouse]

That's true of those in that link, but the others from the first link should do.

[Moorso]

Thank you John......you've been a great help! 

I'm going to try and get the centre stand first (looks like I have to order that from the U.S) then get the engine bars at a later date!

 These bars are stated "to fit 99/2000 885i   http://www.tm-accessories.de/shop/Accessories-for-Triumph-Motorcyc/Tiger-885i/Crash-bars-Tiger-885i::406.html?MODsid=g3deo4m0gk3p4os0vrv1jmegh3  I have had the same problem, searching for centre stand and crash bars for my 2000 model I bought the centre stand from WEMOTO and it DOES fit, (the spring is an absolute BITCH to stretch over the lugs) http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/triumph/tiger_885i_from_vin_71699_upto_vin_124105_885cc_t709/98-00/picture/centre___main_stand_kit/  hope this helps. regards, Jim

Why the states? The link above shows a Motech one and states its for 885i that should fit?

Irish distributor is Maddocks in Wicklow

[John Stenhouse]

Mmm, well made a phone call and the UK distributor doesn't know, they'd never heard of an 885i, but they will e mail SW Motech and see what they say, I'll post the reply when it gets here

[Moorso]

Thank you John!! You truly have gone above and beyond.

[John Stenhouse]

Well after a long wait I have an answer!
Talked to Bonnie Wheeler at Motohaus Powersports and they have a stand that will fit the 885i. It also fits the 955, I ordered mine today.

The one from Wemoto will as well.
