CENTER STAND EARLY OIF TR
Center stand for the early oil-in-frame Triumph twin frame, listed as 83-2627.
This is the center stand for the early oil-in-frame Triumph twins, catalogued as 83-2627 and also known by its older F12627 form. It's the mainstand that lives under the frame and lets the bike stand upright on its own, off the sidestand, with both wheels off the ground for chain adjustment, wheel work, or just parking it level in the garage.

The catalog places this one specifically on the early OIF frame, with the single appearance on record tied to the 1972 model year. Oil-in-frame Triumphs used the front frame downtubes as the oil tank, and the center stand mounts to fit that particular frame geometry, so it's not a part that carries over cleanly from the earlier pre-OIF frames or later revised OIF frames without checking.
If you're working on an early OIF twin and your existing stand is bent, cracked at a mount, or just missing, this is the one to look at first. Confirm your frame type before ordering since OIF frames went through changes over the years and stand mounting points aren't all identical.
