I just got off the phone w/Hepco Becker , they claim its V7 III Ctr. Stand fits a V7/850 . Anyone out there with more knowledge or feedback would be helpful . It’s tax free weekend here so I might do a bit of falkeling . Thanks in advance for useful 411 !

Just took a look on AF1 web site and the part numbers for the listed H-B center stand kits for the the V7 III and V7 850 are not the same. Here is the listed H-B kit for the new V7 850. They also list an OEM kit for the new bikes.

I have the H-B center stand kit on my 17' V9 Bobber and its a very good unit.

Thanks folks I thought the guy I spoke to @ Moto machines sounded unsure about the Ctr. Stand #.

Moto Machines doesn't list the '21 on their website yet, so no wonder he sounded unsure.
Here's the link for the Hepco Becker stand at AF1 in case you want to have a look:

I ordered a factory stand from Italy thru Ebay. They posted up a tracking number Thursday evening, but no movement yet. I'll give it a few more days, but I'm starting to wonder.

Hello ; any info would be appreciated on Hepco & Becker centerstand ; I’m about to purchase a 2021 V7 Special 850 and hope to get more info on purchase and installation difficulties; and will it work with oem side stand and stock exhaust and possibly addition of short Mistral exhaust in the future? Thanks John

I fitted the Guzzi c stand with short Mistral's. You need to ask for the c Stand bracket from mistral. It's a no cost option.

I traded my 2019 V7III Special in on my 2021 V7850 Special and swapped over the Hepco Becker center stand from the V7III to the V7850. Perfect fit, no issues, either with the stock mufflers or the Mistral shorties which are on the V7850 now. No extra parts or bracket needed, the H-B stand has a bump stop built into it which contacts the cross member of the bikes frame. (works the same on both bikes)

That is what I did, though in the UK they charge for the bracket. It works fine.

I attempted to install a Hepco and Becker center stand for a 19 Stone. The one part you remove has as long bolt which I removed. This part cradles the charcoal filter thingy. According to physics this part should rotate
Forward and down, then replaced. It barely moves after an hour or so we gave up. Any ideas before I call the shop.

Just a quick tip . The center stand installed ok . The effort required to lift it onto said stand I thought was excessive. I found that rolling the rear wheel onto a piece of 1x6 board makes it WAY easier to do .
