Triumph Rocket III Touring at 869lbs for the WIN!!!
I have an 18” rear tyre on my t150 and find it very easy to get on the centre stand.

That's interesting
I have a t160 with an 18" rear tyre and it's really hard to get on the centre stand
I'm considering shortening the stand a little
My old T160 had 18" rear wheel and was a nightmare to get on the stand even with a lift handle.
Onder i am running a 120/90/18 Avon Roadrider on it and it really is easy to get on the stand i just roll it on with a slight pull on the sub frame and my weight on the stand.
i would say it is just little more difficult than my std 850mk3
just looked on avon website and it lists dia as 675mm for my 120/90/18 tyre. for a 100/90/19 it gives dia of 671mm
just for clarity a 4.00x18 roadrider , which is what i had on the T160 has a dia of
you guessed it 761mm
i am fairly sure the stands are different between t150 and t160 due to the 160 having slighty higher lower rails. maybe a 150 stand would work better on a 160??

While where on centre stands , when the stand is up , can someone add a pick or describe what the stand is supposed to stop on ? , is there meant to be a bracket type stop on the lower master cylinder bolt ?T160 . Cheers.

This is why I think the humble T140 is one of the most underrated classics.
I know they’re not rocket ships, and they’ll suffer if used as such. But they’re a lot lighter than Tridents et al, yet have many refinements missing from 60s Brit classics, electronic ignition, disc brakes, comfortable seat, 5 speed box, 12 volt electrics, etc, etc.
Yes they don’t have electric starters, but if assembled with later lower CR pistons they are a doddle to kick over.
Ridden as a classic bike (ie don’t go above 6k every ride) they’re smooth, reliable and very enjoyable and will easily keep with earlier Hinckley Bonnies, modern Enfields, etc.
