center stand for Rocket 3 Roadster - very very good !

[George]

just did buy a center stand for my R3R 2012 - this is the best I could find on internet for only 90 euro ( nearly 120 $ ... )
very heavy strong and very stable
German quality hey hey ! lol ....
easy to use and it is necessary by evidence for lots of working on your Rocket !
( not to be kept on the bike of course, but with some handling could well be ..... ????? )

looks like a quality piece, but I could never understand the point of just lifting the bike 5 or 6 inches off the ground..you can remove the front tire with it I suppose, but not the back..

The great thing with the Becker is that it will pack down small enough to carry - albeit a heavy little thing. I use mine a lot at home for just basic stuff.

Checking levels - lifting the tank without stressing the hinge - VERY useful when fiddling with getting lights level - or deliberately mounting them at a set angle from horizontal .

Basically just lifts the rear wheel up from the ground - about 1/2"-1". Of course Triumph could have done things proper and put a F*cking centre stand on to start with.
