Hi everyone, I am not a happy guy this mornig! I went out to get on my bike to head to work and my rear tire is flat and has a nice cut, it looks like I picked up a nail and it elongated the hole, it didnt go flat on my way home Sunday from a 250 mile loop with my dad but its not healthy this morinng! My question is, will a center stand off of a Sprint ST fit my RS or am I stuck going through Triumph or Jack Lilley for one! I am not happy about my tire, it may have 1400 miles on it.. I have strugged without the center for a long time. I used the center on my 99 ST all the time for chain maintenance, wheel cleaning, tire replacements and storage. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Matt :evil:

Yes, It will indeed fit.

see if you can source a lift handle as well, helps get the bike on the stand more easily.

there's a guy on eBay sellilng off '01 Sprint parts....he might have the handle. I know this coz I have my eyes on a few parts.

As for tires... cycle gear is having a sale on tires right now...both tires for less than 2 hundy

PS-the lift handle is there the aluminum bar between the seat lock,and the front of the seat

I bought mine from a wrecker, which made it about a quarter the price as a new 1 from Triumph.

rs-tt

there is also an accessory lift handle that bolts to the frame just above the swingarm pivot. It is a foldaway handle sort of like a modified footpeg.

I think most Sprints don't have lift handles. Neither my '01 nor '02 came with it. Perhaps if the bikes came fitted with hard bags from the factory? Anyway, while the handle helps, the bike lifts easily enough without it.

If anyone knows where I can find a used center stand for my RS please let me know!! Ive checked Ebay and looked around online for any salvage yards with no luck.. If you get a lead on an ST being parted, shoot me an email! Mbernazzoli@hotmail.com Thanks again! Matt :???:
