G650 XCountry - Hepco & Becker Centrestand fitted

Thanks for the heads up JB ... fitted mine today :thumb
Had to modify the BMW engine bars a little, no great deal ... the centre stand looks almost a continuation of them :D

Fit great, look good, great mod :thumb2

Yes ... I know it's dirty :D

That ticks so many boxes I'm inclined to draw a few more so I can tick them.:thumb
 
How did you have to modify the engine bars, Micky? I'm thinking of getting a centre stand, but also have the engine bars fitted.
 
Looks good Mick

Glad you're pleased with it, saves a load of hassle when maintainng the bike and best of all, it's OEM quality/fit

If you want some conduit trunking for the middle bar, send me a PM

Where the engine bars are mounted with a plate between the footrest mounting and the frame, they have a bit if an 'L' shaped bracket underneath, for strength I guess, just had to hacksaw :eek: part of it away, then file and tidy up, so as to make room. Sounds complicated but you'll see when you come to fit :thumb

The bolts supplied with the centre stand are long enough to allow for the engine bars plate being sandwiched between ;)

As JB has said, the H&B stand looks like BMW original, had they fitted one :thumby:

H&B don't supply a centre stand for the later post 2007 lower models :nenau

Hope this helps
:beerjug:



Quick edit for Nutty ...

You can see here where the centre stand main chunky bracket fits behind the engine bar plate (the centre stand brackets have to be next to the frame) the engine bar plate has some steel bracketing that has to be relieved :eek:

Thanks Micky.:thumb
 
Fitted mine today to the XCh. Doesn't have the 'pedal' like the XCo ones above but works and looks great :thumb2

Didn't know they did them for the Xchallenge

Can you stick a couple of piccies on? I'm thinking there might be one or two on here that might be wanting to fit one :thumb

Sure, was planning to when my project is finished (at this rate in about 5 years time :D).
 
Or you could could save weight, money, ground clearance lifts either front or rear wheel and can be used the same one on several bikes:beerjug:

Same idea here, kick it straight and the wheel is up off the ground :thumby:

Works a treat, stable and cheap :D

Now THAT I like...simple and looks like just the job.

Home made or bought?
