    Heya folks,

    We've recently purchased a 2022 900 GT Pro LRH for my missus, seeing that Triumph as decided to stop making LRH Tiger's. Thing is, it is GT Pro "spec", and from what I can see, Triumph didn't factory produce a Tiger 900 GT Pro LRH. But strangely, we have one in the garage! It has all of the GT Pro features, including the centre-stand.

    A couple of questions:

    1. did Triumph make a centre-stand (even as an option) for LRH variants?
    2. would it have been possible to option a standard 900 GT Pro LRH up to GT Pro spec? (and if so, I would imagine at quite a significant cost!).

    @MartyS: My wife rode her Tiger 900 GT Low Edition for 4 years and was very satisfied with it.
    You can't add/buy an original or aftermarket centre stand on/for it. The only possibility is to modify or built one for yourself. But be aware of the low ground clearance and the reduced inclined position possibilities! Triumph doesn't offer you all "mods" as aftermarket options to reach a GT Pro bike.

    Hi Markus,

    that's very interesting because my wife's bike has all of the GT Pro specification bits and pieces that make up a "Pro" variant, hence my original inquiry.

    Special order, perhaps?

    We haven't tried setting the bike on the centre-stand as yet.

    Is there a facility where we can provide Triumph with the VIN number to check against their records as to what spec the bike left the factory as?

    I made inquiries with Triumph here in Australia, and they confirmed that my missus bike was born as a GT 900 Pro. So it appears that the previous owner had lowering links installed. I tried having a look at them today - couldn't see a branding on them, and as I am still recovering from a major "episode" of an aging lower back, I didn't want to risk getting down lower to take a really good gander at them. All I noticed was they were brushed aluminium in colour. Either way, the conundrum is solved. :)

    @MartyS yes indeed just go out with your good lady and some fun on the bikes. As long as the stand is fitted and works no need to looks for faults.
