Sidestand Extension

Does anyone know where I can get a side stand extension for my K6 1000. I had a touratech one but that got lost (don’t ask long story) and they don’t make them any more for that model.

Cheers blokes.

If you are referring to an enlarged foot print, have you thought of making your own? Easy to fabricate and install. It doesn't have to be as fancy as the store bought ones, as long as it is functional. Search the site for "side stand foot print" to give you some ideas. If you don't have the necessary tools / experience, ask your local machine shop to help you.
There are 3D print friendly foot print enlargers, if you have access to a 3D printer, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2427174/#files

I got one for my 650 from Advanced Motorrad Concepts of High Wycombe. They do 1000s too.
So how's it going so far then?

The trouble with buying one from America is, it will be bigger, better, louder and will probably be spelt incorrectly  :smirk:
