kick down side stand

[Ian Noble]

hi, i have a r100gs 1989, and when i have all my luggage on i find it difficult to lift my leg over all the gear to put the bike on the side stand.
it would be much easier and safer if i could just kick down the side stand.
does any one know where i can get a kick down side stand for this model.

Migsel, who posts on here does such a stand, but on a limited production run, so if you get the chance, get one, well worth the money!

Brilliant. How do i contact Migsel?

Use the search facility, he will be mentioned many times, then, once found, you could PM him (once you have enough posts of course!)

Thanks will give it a try.

Welcome to the Forum Ian.

You are not the only one on the lookout for one, see

To use the PM facility to contact other members directly and to have access to the For sale and wanted sections etc, you need to subscribe. If you are planning to be around for a while with your GS, it is well worth it

Thank you. Just found your site and looks like I will stick with it.

Ian,

Mickdb1 posted a picture somewhere of a mod he does to the standard side stand to allow it to be deployed from the saddle. It's a much cheaper option.
