Paddock / Workshop stands.

[Joe King]

Loving my new Triumph Speedmaster but the one thing that my cheap, nasty Chinese 125cc had that my Triumph doesn't is a centre-stand. I find this a total ball-ache when it comes to cleaning & chain maintenance. I've heard of paddock stands and workshop stands but what do I need to lift the back wheel from the ground securely and where can i source it?

Cheers, fella.

Now all I need is a degree in petrochemicals to work out what oil to put into my Speedmaster, and I'll be sorted.

A Centre Stand.

Try tecbikeparts.com they do a centre stand for your bike at about £79.99, I got one for my T100 Bonneville 2years ago its well made, also do other parts as well.

Think a workshop stand is the preferred option. I don't want to add a centre stand to the bike, I just want to be able to stand it upright to check oil, lube the chain and suchlike, which I can do in the comfort of my garage.

I dont know if the Speedmaster has a clear underside but if it has you could look at one of these, I got one for the Harley but I had to put a plate on to make it work.
