Hello all.. noob here, does anyone know if the SW-Motech centre stand they make for the 1990 XT600 will fit my 1988 XT600Z 3AJ Tenere?

I dont think so, no. 3AJ stands do come up on E Bay quite often.....keep watch

Thanks Jibber.. they look like they mount the the same way. Will keep an eye on ebay.

I found one on German eBay. The guy was breaking the bike up and I saw it. He pulled off for me. There is a guy in Italy selling them new, but he never replies? The one I have fits ok but needs some torch work to make it better.

Hey Dino..yer been searching ebay but the language barrier has me struggling . My mate is chasing one for his 34l as well. I see another ol bmw tank in the background of your photo. I own one the same. Looks like we have a similar disease.

I got back into bikes a couple of years ago. I have always liked the old school air cooled desert bikes. I’m getting the Ténéré ready for the Scrapheap challenge in the next three weeks. It should be fun 1200km to Pooncarie nearly all dirt. The bike has been sitting in a shed for over 12 years near Gunnedah, so it needs a service! I restored the GS and have done some big rides with it. I need to work out which bike is the blonde or brunette.

Scrapheap sounds like a great ride. Hoping to do it next year maybe on an XL600. The PD would have to be the big buxom blonde

It was a long search but I found my centre stand. Took a bit of heavy hammer work to get it to fit nicely but very happy with it.

Have you guys put the mounting point on the outside of the right side steps? Or between the frame and the foodstep?

it's in between the frame and the footsteps in my case.
