AltRider Adjustable Aluminum Side Stand for Lowered Suspension BMW R 1200 & R 1250 GS/GSA (2013-current)

The stock GS side stand sinks in soft ground and leaves the bike leaning at an angle that makes muscling it upright a real effort — especially when loaded. This adjustable stand replaces the OEM unit and gives you direct control over both problems.

The stand length is infinitely adjustable from 0.25 inches shorter to 1.75 inches longer than stock. That range covers standard, lowered, and adventure suspension setups, plus different tire profiles and load conditions. Set it once for how you actually ride, or dial it in again when conditions change.

The integrated foot is twice the size of the OEM foot, with a serrated surface that grips rather than sinks. The upper section is high-strength steel; the lower section is aluminum. It works with your factory side stand sensor and uses your existing hardware and spring.

The stock GS side stand has two problems most riders know well: the lean angle is too aggressive for light loads and uneven ground, and the foot sinks fast on soft soil or gravel. This adjustable stand fixes both.

The stand adjusts continuously — not just at preset positions — so you can dial in the lean angle for how the bike is actually loaded that day. Riding light on a day trip needs a different stance than a fully loaded expedition. You set it where you want it.

The enlarged foot has a serrated grip surface that bites into the ground instead of sinking. On dirt, gravel, or an uneven parking lot, the bike stays put. The stand works with your factory side stand switch and uses your stock hardware and spring. A spring puller is included in the box.
