    Brown Side Stand - copy?

    Bought a '94 R100RT awhile ago, and it had the OEM side stand on it. I had a spare "Brown" style side stand on the shelf in the shop, don't remember where I got it. Installed the "Brown" and the RT sits much differently than the '83 R100RS that I ride with a _real_ Brown side stand (I bought one...

    Side Stand bent on a S1000XR?

    Hello everyone; I bought 2021 S1000XR and took it in for the 6K service at my local BMW dealership. The tech told me that the Side Stand is bent. I was stunned about this since I have never had this issue in 35 years of riding motorcycles. I don't mount my motorcycle standing on the footrest...

    R100R side stand

    Is there any hope at all for the miserable side stand on my R100R? It's mounted WAY forward, springs back to the return position all by itself and is far too short. Other than those niggly drawbacks, it's a well-designed bit of equipment. :cry Has anyone found a way to either correct these...

    F750 side stand exchange

    I have seen a number of posts saying that BMW has a curved side stand to keep the F850 from standing up too straight. Anyone know if there is a similar item for the F750? I have had mine fall over to the right twice because the stand is too long on anything but the flattest spots. Wind blew...

    1996 R1100GS Side Stand Length

    1996 Side stand I need to change the length of my 1996 R1100Gs Side stand. The original design is too short for my liking. I have perused several previous threads on the issue, some dating back almost 10 years. Yes, I understand the Hockey puck and Foot pad enlarger, but I really want the...

    Fragile kickstand?

    I went to my nearest dealer today to try on a (hopefully discounted) 2016 R1200RT. I had back surgery back in January and I'm still a bit weak and inflexible so I had trouble getting my boot over the right side case. When I was last there, they asked me to not put all my weight on the stand by...
