Low Suspension Swap

[BarkSlayer]

I have a 2021 R1250GSA with the factory low suspension package. Can anyone confirm if it’s feasible to swap the front and rear shocks, and side and center stands for standard travel GSA units from the same model year? At 6’3” I’d prefer the full travel components. Bike has 17K miles and has never left the pavement.

I switched the shocks on my 1250GSA and went from lowered to standard height. I did this in conjunction with adding a sidecar to the bike. Contact Jeff at the Beemershop and he will offer multiple options for replacement shocks, all of which cost less than BMW’s shocks. They will have both ESA and non-ESA options. (831) 438-1100

Just a tip on center stand . Having a shorter center stand makes deployment easier . Especially when loaded up with cases , and weight .
You will likely find the rear tire will lightly touch the ground , and the bike will be very stable . To lift the rear off the ground a 1x4 under the pads of the stand will now get the rear off the ground . One can carry a cedar plank in bottom of side case for ER tire repair .
I have included a photo of OEM to shortened Kawasaki C14 stands I modify for the above purpose .
