Slightly strange question...but would the owner of a 800GS go and measure their side stand for me please.
SWMBO'd has a 800GSA and with the pre-load wound down a bit to allow for short legs. However this week it had the panniers on and other stuff. Now whilst I had wound the pre-load up a bit to compensate, the side stand is making the bike too upright and a number of times it really looked like it was going to fall the opposite side.
Now I'm aware I could cut the stand and re-weld the foot back on, or increase the pre-load and probable a number of other things, but I don't like butchering things and SWMBO'd doesn't want it any higher.
I think the GS had slightly shorter suspension to the GSA and therefore a slightly shorter side stand. With my plan to simply (ha ha) swap the items over.
But the world of Google isn't giving me an answers to the actual length of a GS side stand against a GSA side stand.
Measurement taken from pivot point to foot
Many thanks
