Oil And Chain

@Rob2025 Great job and nice Bonnie. Great picture.

 

Rob, I got the OEM center stand for my 2023 Bonne T120; took a bit to get it fitted but just tedious; takes a bit of muscle to get it up on the center stand and care to not let the bike tumble to the right side, but, there is a Youtube video on how to yank it up on the stand easily; no worries. Like the idea of always having the center stand available.

For the chain lube, I found the spray can of Lucas Chain Lube to be acceptable with minimum fling off.

 

In searching for an OEM center stand for my new 2024 Bonneville Speedmaster, the closest I could find is the T100, T120
Center Stand Kit - A9778527 from Triumph / Cleveland.
Anyone know if the the the same T100 / T120 stand would fit on the Speedmaster?
Thanks!

 

As to the centre stand being hard to use. I'm def not young and have various injuries yet don't find my T120 hard to put on stand. I don't use spray lube anymore as it's much cheaper to use what D.I.D recommend, 80/90 gear oil. A litre lasts ages even at 300 mls between lubes.

 

I have a 2025 T120 with a centre stand. I have no difficulty putting it on the stand as I have the pannier rails that provide a handle while using the stand. Mind, without the pannier rails I would find it more difficult & more likely to topple. (@ mid 70s bad back and right shoulder problems.)
The Bonne is so much easier to put on the centre stand than my BM 1200GS.

 

Certainly won't fit.
No centre stand option for Speedmasters.

Paddock stand (oxford premium) with screw-in bobbins works well.

 

I used that option when I had a speedmaster. Same paddock stand.

Not being the strongest chap I had a lot of difficulty getting it up on the stand. The speedmaster is quite a weighty beast. I developed a technique to stand on the edge of the stand to flip it. Not a manoeuvre for the faint hearted.
