Lowered 850 gsa, main stand

[stever1]

Can you have a main stand on a 40th anniversary edition 850 gsa which is a factory lowered version ?

Hi, I successfully fitted the SW Motech main stand for the F850GS with low suspension. It says it’s not compatible but I verified from them that it’s because they haven’t tested it. I took a chance and it fits, Howe over it is quite hard to get up onto the stand, but very easy to get back off the stand, possibly due to the pivot point and the weight of the front of the bike. BMW does not make a centre stand for the low F850GS/A and to my knowledge neither does anyone else aftermarket. I asked Hornig and they said maybe, but nothing materialised. Hope this helps.
