Part # 8500079
Side Stand Enlarger

I ordered this for a 2010 F650GS and it does not fit the foot of the side stand. The aperture is way to big.

Maybe it's just me, or maybe this works better with other years (I have a 2006 f650gs), but here are the problems I have with it. 1) the thing drags on the pavement on left hand corners. These aren't crazy corners, just moderate corners on a windy road. I hope it isn't a safety issue, but it is annoying to hear that dragging sound on left hand corners. There is no obvious way to adjust my kick stand higher without Jerry-rigging it. It seems that if they hadn't centered the thing on the stand and offset it to the high side, I wouldn't have ground a quarter of an inch off it within a couple of weeks while riding to work. 2) The edge I ground off by cornering to the left is SHARP and out of sight so when I was feeling around for what was dragging I was lucky not to have cut myself. Which maybe should be called 1) b) instead of 2, because it comes from the same problem as issue #1. 3) the little serrated teeth you see in the photo look like they are to grip your boot when you put the stand down, but there is something on my side stand that sticks out beyond those teeth, so they are kind of pointless (to make a pun). I think this will increase the bike's resistance to falling if I park in the dirt, and it looks really cool, I just wish it had been a bit better designed.

I\'m very satisfied with this product.

I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for the price & shipping.
