For Sale Camel foot side stand extension, self-made, universal fit, e. g., BMW R 1200 GS, R 1250 GS and Adv. models

[whereismike]

Hi guys,
first off, I’m not a commercial vendor. I originally had these parts made just for my own trip and amusement, but after getting so many requests, I eventually gave in and had a small batch produced. Since laser-cutting prices heavily depend on quantity, I ordered a few extras—and now I’ve got some left over. But hey, if this already sounds too much like a sales pitch, I’d be happy for the mods to move this thread to the vendor section.
Second—yeah, I know, another camel thing for motorcycles. But since my trip took me through Mongolia, I originally wanted the Camel Toe sidestand extension, which has been out of production for ages. So, I figured I’d come up with my own version...

These sidestand extensions are designed to resemble the foot of a Bactrian camel, which are native to Mongolia.

Each set consists of a ground plate, clamp plate, and top plate, all laser-cut from stainless steel 304L.
The mounting is done using:

• 4x M6 countersunk screws (V2A)
• 4x M6 washers (V2A)
• 4x M6 self-locking nuts (V2A)
• 4x O-rings (NBR) positioned between the ground and clamp plate

Assembly should be easy to follow with the exploded view drawing:

Various perspectives on the next image...

Additionally, the underside of the ground plate is equipped with 3M anti-slip tape, which has also been laser-cut for a precise fit.
Moreover, the holes are countersunk, allowing the screws to sit flush with the ground plate.

Once installed, it’s barely distinguishable from the "original"

.

Riser plates (+2.5 mm)

• Made of aluminum for minimal weight increase (around 50 g).

Totally forgot...

Compatibility
Originally designed for the BMW R 1200 GS (LC), R 1250 GS, and Adv. versions, but also fits various other bikes with a flat sidestand foot, e.g., the old Honda Africa Twin, old Honda Transalp, BMW F 650 GS (Dakar), and more.

E. g., BMW R 1200 GS (LC) Adventure

E. g., BMW R 1250 GS

If you want to mount it on an unknown bike, please find the dimensions in the next image. Or just PM me regarding a specific model!

For the air-cooled R 1200 GS, which has a relatively large original side stand foot, I have made an own version with a longer cut-out.
Available in the same colours as the normal camel foot, see above.

 

[whereismike]

Btw, successfully tested on a 6-month, 25,000 km motorcycle tour from the Oberpfalz region (Germany) to Vladivostok (Russia). This journey took me through 24 countries, such as the Balkan countries (i.e., Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia), Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Afghanistan, the Central Asian "Stan" countries, Mongolia, Siberia, Russian Far East, the Baltic States and Kaliningrad.

Here's someone who has fitted the camel foot to his old BMW F 650 GS Dakar...

Another satisfied camel foot owner .
Here on a BMW F 650 GS, built in 2003.

With a few slight modifications, it also fits the BMW R nineT with the bent-up side stand foot

 

[whereismike]

Hey folks,
my uncle just got himself a powder coating setup for fun, and of course I had to give it a try! I gave a few of the camel feet a fresh blue finish.
If you're interested, just hit me up!



Best,
Mike

Bumping with a few shots of Camel feet fitted to more air-cooled R 1200 GSs – big thanks to the folks who sent these in!

 

[moofster]

How much?

 

[Deleted account 250722001]

Price is in ... post #1

 

[whereismike]

Hi @moofster,
The pure stainless steel camel foot costs €25.
An additional €5 is charged per powder-coated part (just covering what my powder-coating guy charges me).
Shipping to the UK would be €5.85 (includes tracking + insurance).
Best,
Mike

May I have a 5.2 please, and does it come with the embellishment's also?

 

[Deleted account 250722001]

IF by embellishments you mean:

1. the 2 self adhesive toenail inserts - then yes mine did
2. the bracelet - then yes mine did
3. the laser cut top Camel Toe plate- I have one but cannot remember if it was a request or not- No doubt Mike will be along shortly!

That Camel Toe makes a huge amount of difference stability wise especially on softer ground. and I am very glad Mike brought us this opportunity-
p.s photo taken before I put the toenail inlays in and I've not fitted the bracelet (sorry Mike!)

 

[whereismike]

Hey,
appreciate the description and the pic, @Treb – you nailed it!
@parky1774, sent you a PM.
Cheers,
Mike

Fits the classic BMW R 1100 GS too – even if the top plate’s on backwards in this one. Two spacer plates included for that extra bit of upright confidence.

Sorry, I messed up with the picture...

 

[zoltan]

Hi @zoltan
I just googled the side stand of the R 1250 RS (the bike in your profile picture, right?). The camel foot with the longer cut-out should pretty much fit, i.e., the one I made for the air-cooled R 1200 GS.
Let's have a chat about this via PM!
