I have nice (probably overpriced) Wunderlich sidestand enlarger for my 54 GS. Just in case anyone else has one of these very useful bits, watch out to make sure it's still got all its bolts. Perhaps I should have glued them in, but today it fell off in transit with a clang as it bounced up into the exhaust. Anyone got some of those hex bolts?!!

Ha ha. Lost mine last week as well.

New one on the way, methinks loctite or glue will be in order this time!

There is a fella on here who makes them for about a tenner inc postage.

VERY nice bits of kit, and the bolts look like they're friction welded into the plates. They're a bugger to fit too, due to the close tolerances of the holes/bolts

Mines hanging on just fine and dandy!

My ice hockey puck sidestand extender/enlarger is still in place and ended up one of the cheapest and best mods I have made to my bike. Held in place by five self tapping screws.

The extra 24mm of height makes it so much easier for my short legs to get the bike upright from a standstill on the sidestand. Also more stable when parking on soft ground due to the 75mm diameter puck.
