- 1200 Scrambler XE
I don't fancy using a paddock stand etc to do chain maintenance etc on my 1200XE. I would prefer a centre stand which are not available (I think) for this model
But Triumph do produce a centre stand for the XC. Does anyone know if it would bolt straight onto the XE? The XE frame appears to have all the same mounting hardware as the XC.
Yes I know the suspension is longer on the XE compared to the XC and on flat ground the XC stand would probably not lift the wheels off the ground. But if the stand was used on a piece of wood etc to compensate for the lengthier suspension, then the wheels would be off the ground and chain maintenance would be a lot easier.
So, has anyone tried to fit an XC centre stand to an XE Scrambler 1200?
Cheers
Mike
