Anyone have or know where to get the centerstand spacer P/N 14.05.12. Which allows the mounting of the centerstand to the frame on a 500 frame.

Re: Centerstand Spacer
The spacer runs in the frame tube and due to age and improper maintenance sometimes the tube/frame become wear items. You might find that even a new tube results in play if your frame is worn.
Last time I tackled this problem I reamed the frame to restore a parallel bore and then measured the new clean frame tube bore had a new spacer tube turned up to fit (it ended up with an OD about 0.5mm bigger than the standard tube)
It’s also worth fitting a new bolt at the same time. I’m not 100% sure about the 500 but my 350 was M10 x1.25 pitch,150mm long.
Grease it well when reassembling, or better add a grease nipple to the frame or bolt for future peace of mind.

Morini Tom, thank you for the response and reply. Your info will help me in fabricating the sleeve spacer.
