It\u2019s $43 new but I got it for $20 used. I actually park my bike on dirt nearly 100% of the time. I live on a dirt road, visit breweries that are on dirt roads and take the bike on class-6 roads and I\u2019m often hunting for a rock to put the kick stand on so the bike doesn\u2019t fall over.<\/p>\n<p>There are those plastic kick stand pads you can buy but I did and lost them already. I wanted a permanent accessory.<\/p>\n<p>Manufacturer\u2019s Description:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&gt; Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Touratech&#8217;s Large Sidestand Foot stabilizes your BMW R1200GS when parked on the side stand. Whether you find yourself parking in grass, gravel, mud or forest soil, the increased surface area of the Touratech Sidestand Foot dramatically improves the stability of the R1200GS making your off-the-beaten-path parking much easier.<\/p>\n<p>The Touratech Large Sidestand Foot is the choice of travelers the world over because of its solid stainless steel construction, well engineered fit and strong 4-bolt mounting connection. The top clamping plate wraps 360 degrees around the kick stand for the most soild connection to the side stand on the BMW R1200GS.<\/p>\n<p>The Touratech Large Sidestand Foot installs easily and dramatically improves your parking experience when off pavement with your R1200GS<\/p>\n<p><strong> PRODUCT FEATURES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Easy Installation<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Guaranteed to improve your parking experience when off pavement<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Made of laser-cut stainless steel and anodized aluminum<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Fits 2006-2013 1200GS\/Adventure Oil Cooled models<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Does NOT fit on low frame GS models<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 For 2013 and newer water cooled GS, order part # 045-5275<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Add part #044-3033 to adjust lean angle of motorcycle<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Made in Germany<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Installation was a cinch as you\u2019ll see in the vide linked below. It drastically increases my confidence in literally parking the bike anywhere. I won\u2019t have to hunt for rocks anymore. My only concern would be the bolts coming lose over time from vibration and possibly that the kick stand comes down when I go over big off-road bumps and get caught on things. More weight = spring wasn\u2019t rated for that weight and I hit a big bump and the stand comes down catching on a rock. That sort of thing. We\u2019ll see how it does over time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/touratech-usa.com\/Store\/Large-Sidestand-Foot-BMW-R1200GS-ADV-2006-2013-Oil-Cooled\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Link to buy: 044-3030<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/9\/8861\/28846798051_2debe938a3_b.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<p><img  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/c1.staticflickr.com\/9\/8754\/28846794711_6c10733242_b.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/22R7Hd-t9L8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here\u2019s another Touratech accessory.
