Hepco & Becker Center Stand Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE 2019-

Directions were decent. I had to clean out some of the thread holes to install and spring was a struggle, but I got it. It lifts the bike up so you can maintain and adjust chain and remove the rear wheel. Pricey, but in the long run, it will probably pay for itself.

PRO. . Solid product, good hardware, easy install.
CON. . 2 bolts on going through spring braket and frame mounting braket should be longer. .
It wouldn't hurt if it camed over alittle more for stability. . on very even stable flat ground its OK, but anything else its risky

This is a well built centerstand, EXCEPT for one flaw. As others have complained, mine was dangerous to use as it is built and shipped. It does not allow the bike to rotate back past center when the stand hits the stop (when putting bike up on the stand) and the bike (my Scrambler 1200 XE) will roll forward with just a light touch. If I wasn't prepared for this by reading other buyers' issues, the bike would have fallen over in my garage during my first use. I fixed the problem as others have: took it back off the bike, disassembled, and removed about 3 mm of material from where the stand hits the stop (making sure to keep full contact). Now, it works well. I had it attached during a rough, rocky, fast 3 day desert ride and it sustained no damage (other than scuffs and scratches) and works great still. I would strongly recommned correcting this defect in design and/or manufacture before any more are sold. It also worries me that MotoMachines is aware of this defect and continues to sell these units.

Buyer beware - this center stand is DANGEROUS. It needs to be redesigned. It does not lean the bike far enough past the balance point to be safe. It can easily be pushed forward off the stand with a very light touch. The result can be injury and/or bike damage. Heaven help us if a child knocks it off the stand!!
No installation instructions or torque specs are included. Bolt size determines torque. The finish is high quality.

It's a nice piece. One thing, be very aware that they include "2xAllen M10x35x1,25" and "2xAllen M10x35" The parts are all in one bag. Well, those four total M10x35 Allen bolts may look the same - they are NOT. The second two are a 1.50 Pitch and go with the Nyloc Nuts. It's very easy to pull the items out of the bag and incorrectly try to install the 1.5 pitch bolts into your frame. Your frame threads are dirty, you're not surprised it's difficult. STOP. You're using the wrong bolts. It's a bit asinine Hepco & Becker uses bolts that similar and doesn't at least bag them separately. They should use totally different bolts for the pivot. The potential to strip / damage frame threads is real.
Otherwise, good piece.

I can't comment on the instructions other than the Youtube video I watched said they were quite good. The stand was incredibly easy to install - for the spring, I used the "wrap a tie-down to the back tire and rotate to pull it back" method and that worked like a charm.
The ordering process was excellent - I called to ask about shipping and the call was answered immediately and I got great info regarding their awesome free shipping!
I bought this for the 1200XE in which the frame had broken right by the kickstand. Not having the bike on that side-stand will make a world of difference to keep the same thing from happening again.

Quality part and hardware - works fine. Springs are *very* hard to stretch. I used a ratchet strap connected to crash bars to do the job.

Love it! Easy install. Impressed with how stout it's built. Highly recommend.

Very happy with my purchase and my shoppingexperience with Moto Machines.

I perform my own maintenance and I ride in windy areas so a center stand is a must have on my bikes. This one is sturdy and works well on the Scrambler 1200XE model.

Install was straight forward and makes a much easier to maintain bike with a center stand. It is a pretty heavy duty spring to put on but with an automotive drum brake spring tool it is very easy to install.

The center stand is pretty well designed and seems to hold the bike up pretty well.
The instructions were a little unclear but I figured it out after a bit. Only took about 30 minutes to get it installed minus the spring. I would recommend having a friend help you with the spring if you can. I ended up using a pully to get it on there in the end but it was not easy.

I lower down height of bike around 30mm.
It makes make bike too stright when I apply side Stand.
I feel unsafe to use side stand so fitted H&B Center Stand.
As I expected Bike are safely stand and my worry goes away.
Beside I can easy to access Air Nozzle for pumping Air.
Thanks for good products. Love it.

Top quality product, easy installation and looks and works great:blush::+1:
