The must-have accessory for sport-touring! Greatly eases basic chain maintenance, tire changes, parking, and bike cleaning. Super-strong steel construction features typical German design and high engineering standards. Superb integration with the factory exhaust and sidestand components -- retain all existing features without sacrificing lean angle or clearances.
All hardware needed to mount the centerstand included. Typically installs using basic hand tools. No welding, cutting, or drilling of existing frame or body parts required. Tough black powdercoated finish with some gray fittings or hardware as applicable. A double-retention spring is included as a safety feature to prevent the centerstand from contacting pavement if one of the two springs should fail during a ride. Designed to work with OEM components -- we cannot assure fit with aftermarket exhausts or other accessories.
Centerstand height is designed for the F650GS Dakar model; centerstand height is too tall for the non-Dakar F650GS model.
Same as the SW-MOTECH centerstand made for Wudo Germany.
Special Note:We do not recommend installing centerstands on bikes with a lowered rear suspension because use on a lowered bike may result in:
- ground clearance & cornering clearance problems, and
- difficulty in lifting the lowered bike onto the centerstand.

Admin note: This is a dedicated thread for discussing the SW-MOTECH Centerstand (BMW F650 GS Dakar, '00-'04). Fit and finish on stand is excellent. I installed by myself last night in about 3/4 of an hour. Aligns correctly with factory mount points. The springs will give your arms a workout but they must be installed between the bike and stand first. A helper would be beneficial but it can be done by one. I installed with the bike on its sidestand. What worked for me: 1. Install Springs. 2. Align centerstand mounting point on SHIFTER side of bike first. 3. Slide bolt through bike mount point and centerstand. (Not as easy as it sounds, you don't want to strip the threads on the bolt.) 4. Put nut on loosely. 5. Go to brake lever side of bike and align centerstand mount with bike frame. (Don't forget the washers). 6. Slide bolt through and put the nut on. I used a rubber mallet to induce the bolt through. 7. Put locktite on the bolts, tighten the nuts and test. I originally tried to install the brake lever side first but did not have the strength to align the stand with one hand and force bolt through with other. The centerstand and sidestand cannot swing independently of each other. I have to swing the sidestand out a little to get the centerstand down. There may be some alignment of the sidestand that will correct this but I haven't tried yet. If any questions, I am xandler13 at the chain gang.
