Ever pull one of these Tigers up on a center stand?

:nap

Never had a problem putting the tiger, trophy or sprint on their centre stands.  I suppose it's down to technique
98 tiger 885i, 2001 Daytona 955i, 92 trident/sprint 900, 98 trophy 1200, 96 trophy 900, 59 t120 bonnieville, 64 t120 bonnieville, 63, tiger t100s/s, 98 tl1000s, 07 Buell xb1200, 98 husqvarna sm610  x2, 81 husqvarna cr500, 84 husqvarna cr500, 98 xvs650, 90 sportster 883/1200 race bike.

I rock mine until it goes past center... I didn't realize this was an issue.  :icon_scratch:

:iagree momentum is your friend, it's all technique, just find the one that works for you.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

That is why I have a piece of timber on the garage floor. Lifts the rear wheel half an inch which helps tremendoulsy in pulling it up the stand. When on the road I simply ask a fellow rider to pull the bike backwards when chain needs lubrication or so. Otherwise I just leave it on the side stand.

My thoughts exactly.

I'll check to see which year it came from. Looking into getting new mounting brackets from the dealership... unless someone here can tell me how to mod the exhaust.

At least you have the advantage of having a good grip. I have the preload adjuster of the Wilbers shock fixed to the footpeg holder that dubs as grab bar. The edge is a bit sharp so sensitive to my sissy hands. Prefer using the lower bar but gives slightly worse leverage. But getting the rear wheel a bit higher by parking it on some timber does help quite a lot  :icon_smile:

Mine is a pig to get onto the centre stand because of the lowered shockthus a higher lift.  Lowering the stand is doable, but probably not going to happen....

Have a look at the photo I posted there's enough room on the ramp for the center stand but no where for me  :icon_scratch:,so it's the left foot half on and half off the ramp put my right foot on the center stand to square the bike up and then it's shit or bust. :icon_biggrin:

As luck would have it I've always found putting it on the stand a doddle compared to the balancing act I have to do,with a fully loaded tank bag and 55l Givi with at least 15k in it I rock it off the center stand and my wife gives it the final push.

So it seems that I've exhausted all reasonable attempts to find a right-side mount for the center stand I have or a center stand for the proper year. Even SW-Motechs don't want to ship to the US.  :icon_scratch:
I've found a local shop that will fab a small pipe for me that will bypass the box and route around the center stand bracket for about $100. With proper mapping, this may come out to be a win-win.
While I'm having him fab a pipe up anyways, I'm considering throwing on a blue flame can. This one is local and has been on the market for some time.  :wheel
Thoughts?

just go to twisted throttle .....................

done
http://www.twistedthrottle.com/sw-motech-centerstand-triumph-tiger-955i-00-06

they also have the instructions and parts list with pretty drawings of everything on .pdf

http://static.twisted-throttle.net/media/files/hps.11.531.100.triumph.tiger.955i.2005-2006.sw-motech.centerstand.installation.instructions.pdf

I contacted them about this one actually, and they verified that it won't fit my year with the stock exhaust. They are also looking for one with this wonky mount (pre 2001).

Does anybody have experience with this SW Motech on their 2000 Girly?
