The Moto Guzzi V85 TT has officially joined the herd! 
I haven’t double-checked, but the camel foot should also fit the V85 Strada and V85 TT Travel.

Hey folks
,
I’ve still got a few camel foot side-stand enlargers left from the last small batch — available for the BMW R1200GS (K25) & Adv. and the Yamaha Ténéré 700 / World Raid.
To keep the price reasonable, I had a couple extras made beyond the pre-orders, so there are a few sets up for grabs.
If you haven’t seen the thread (or don’t feel like scrolling through the whole adventure), these are side-stand enlargers inspired by the rugged foot of a real Mongolian Bactrian camel.
»Made in Germany«
A must-have for any long-distance trip
!
These are based on my Camel foot side-stand enlarger for the BMW R 1200 GS (LC) — the same one that took a mate and me more than 25,000 km, from southern Germany all the way to Vladivostok in Russia’s Far East.
From scorching gravel roads toward Kabul, over 4,660 meter passes in the heart of the Pamir mountains, across the endless windswept Mongolian steppe, and even along frozen Siberian highways — the Camel foot kept our bikes planted like a rock every single time we stopped on soft ground.
Laser-cut from stainless steel (V2A).
With 3M Safety-Walk anti-slip material on the bottom of the base plate.
Installation
Just clamp it onto the original side-stand foot, tighten the bolts – done!
And of course, it includes the jingiin khonkh – the traditional caravan bell for your side stand.
Available in multiple color and coating combinations:
Sandblasted / brushed stainless steel
Matte black / stainless
...unfortunately only available with a base plate in indian-brown metallic.
BMW sky blue / matte black
Oriental red / matte black
...unfortunately only the version with the red top plate (left) is still available.
Neon green / matte black
Indian-brown metallic / dove grey
...my personal favorite
!
Price
Sandblasted / brushed stainless: €25
Matte black / stainless: €30
Colored versions: €32.50
Shipping
Insured shipping to the UK (tracking included): €5,85
Shipping to other countires: on request!
If you’ve got questions, just send me a message
!
Cheers and enjoy the Advent season,
Mike

The Camel foot side-stand enlargers for the Yamaha Ténéré 700 are basically the same design — the only difference is that I added two small tabs on the clamping plate so it can clamp securely to the more… let’s say uniquely shaped T7 side-stand foot.
Installation
Similar, just clamp it onto the original side-stand foot, tighten the bolts – done!
Including the jingiin khonkh – the traditional caravan bell for your side stand.
Heads-up: If your side-stand spring is getting weak, make sure to order a reinforced spring as well (€7.50)!!!
Field-tested on the TET in Albania by a riding buddy who loves punishing gear just to see what survives.

Got a few pics from someone who fitted the camel foot to their R1200 GS (K25).
Love seeing these out in the wild!

The matte-black and plain stainless-steel camel feet for the BMW R1200 GS (K25) are already gone.

And yet another one... sky blue!
!
I can reaffirm what Mike says about their stability - and they clear the swingarm with a good bit to spare. I have one on the V-Strom, and one on the R80GS. They work on boggy ground.
It took the place of this....
The V-Strom one. As you can see, loads of clearance.

Finally got some photos of the camel foot on a Yamaha Ténéré 700 - and even on a World Raid!

Hi Mike
Do you do one for the F650GS twin (mine is a 2008 bike)?
Cheers

Hi @Hoff,
my standard camel foot fits the F650GS Twin, but unfortunately those are all sold out at the moment.
I’ve received some feedback and I’m currently making a few small tweaks, but I should definitely have new ones ready again by the end of February.
If you like, I can put you on a pre-order list?
Cheers and happy New Year,
Mike

Thanks for the reply. What is the cost of the standard camel foot in black?
Cheers

Hi Paul,
for the matte-black camel foot I used to charge €30 plus shipping. However, that price was based on manufacturing costs from about half a year ago.
I can’t promise I’ll be able to offer it again at exactly €30, since my fabricator may have increased prices as well — but if it does go up, it should only be slightly.
Cheers and all the best for the New Year,
Mike

Hi Mike
Can you put me on the pre order list, many thanks and have a good new year and 2026.
Paul
Mike, is this any good for a 2018 factory lowered chassis 1200 GS Adventure?

Hi @DorsetRider,
Happy New Year
!
I can’t say for sure whether the camel foot fits the factory-lowered GS, as those bikes come with a shorter side stand. Because of that, the camel foot (and actually most other side-stand enlargers as well) can potentially hit the footpeg when folded up.
Since the Adventure has more ground clearance, it’s possible that even with the shorter stand there’s still enough length to avoid any interference with the footpeg.
If you like, you can send me a photo of the side stand in the folded position via PM, and I’ll be able to judge it much better.
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks Mike. Actually I was thinking the situation was different. I thought the issue with a lowered Adventure was that the side was not different to the standard and so often it has an issue on the side stand leaning into a camber. If that were to be the case I thought the problem would be that the camel foot would foul the ground more often......Hi @DorsetRider,

I'll get some measurements and photos for you.

I’m pretty sure that factory-lowered non-Adventure GS models have a shorter side stand — and in those cases I’ve already seen the camel foot collide with the footpeg.
With the factory-lowered GSA, my thinking was that since the Adventure sits a bit higher overall (more ground clearance than the standard GS), BMW might be using the regular-length side stand from the non-Adventure GS, which would mean the footpeg collision issue might not occur.
The issue you mentioned with the bike standing too upright is something I know well — my R 1200 GSA (LC) does the same, and I often have to park on slightly sloped ground. However, the camel foot didn’t really make that any worse though.
Best thing would be if you could send me a few photos of the folded side stand — then we’ll know for sure
.Cheers,
Mike
