Lowered GS footpegs

Arsey · Nov 5, 2020

Does anybody apart from Migsel do a side stand for an R80GS ?
The spring up stand on my bike is even more of a pain now I have the lower pegs....ta

You might try Gary Burton. Not sure, but I think he does one where it will flip up on it's own, but move the spring to a different place and it will stay down.

Have a look at BAMW.co.uk

Ok ta.

Edited to add, I found this but not exactly sure what it’s supposed to do

Give him a call, I'm sure it will come with instructions.

What it will do will alter the position of the spring at one end, so that the stand will stay down, once pushed down.

Edit, I'm not sure after reading it again. Give him a call.

Lovely chap.
That kit will modify the side stand to stay out, but I’m going to persevere for now with the OE and see if I get used to it with the new lower pegs.

This is Gary’s kit on his bike :
