Raising a 2000 F650GS

[ahebron]

Can a 2000 F650GS be raised at the rear?
My other half has bought one and cannot put it on its centre stand, this is not a problem with her normal height 1994 F650 Funduro. We experimented and found if a 19mm plank is put under the rear wheel she has no trouble getting it up on the centre stand. I did notice that the rear shock links are longer than the ones I removed that came on her Funduro s part of its lowering kit. If I fit these from the old lowering kit then it will lift the rear of the bike. I cannot see a way to lift the front end to match though.

Try the dakar rear shock, it should raise it by 25 mm

You need a set of Dakar forks for the front (I just happen to have a set in my garage ) and a 21" front wheel (I have one of those too!).

I have a Dakar shock that has been butchered (the remote was cut of via the rubber hose), you can have that for free if you know how to repair it (and you pay the carriage ).

Rather a lot of expense simply to get a bike on a centre stand though.

You probably don't need this, but just in case -
