New shorter side stand has arrived...........
BMW Part no - C46 . 53 . 7 . 716 . 440
50 MM shorter, so will make it much easier to get on / off the XC

 

[DA1ES]

is the original xcountry stand shorter than the xchallenge one, and are they interchangeable, and practical to swop over ?


just seen original is 304mm so is shorter,
if its interchangeable and not impractical for the challenge, do you fancy getting rid of original ?

I will have a look on max BMW of see if the fitting is the same. Should be as they use the same frame

Same fittings so will fit, I reckon

Yep. Lots of stands will mount even none BMW but getting the right lean/support is a different thing.

I quite fancy one of these, after a long chat with JB.

So, the mission begins.

Wish I had got one sooner, might just keep me riding a few miles more. Without causing anymore damage to my busted body

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

Had a good run round on mine yesterday around some wee roads

Bumped into a well travelled GS'er & he had a quick spin too

He was suitably impressed & declared it a 250 on steroids

Strictly speaking this is my wife's new bike and she may veto some of my plans.

A common problem

Rainbow just taken a rather nice yellow 2009 Xcountry in if anyone is looking

14,000 miles, none ABS. BMW rear rack and tail bag. Barkbuster hand guards and an Izotta (?) screen. Looks good

Ring Ian (Wilkie) at Rainbow if interested
