    2011 GSA - absolutely love it

    The concern I have is the side stand - seems a little short and it leans quite a bit.

    Had the same issue with the GT and put in an extender - are similar ones available for the GS/GSA?

    Did a search and come up with lots of stuff for the 1100 but not too much on the 1200's

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My compass broke, so I'm not sure where I am!
    I have an 07' GSA, it leans a fair bit. IMHO, I would just throw something like a Camel-toe (search in Vendors) on the bottom to prevent sinkage on soft surfaces.

    There are lots of Farkely things out there for the GSA, try searching here in the vendors section, but there are lots of stuff out there on the web as well i.e; Tourtech (lots O' $$) Wunderlich, and lots of other stuff.


    Enjoy the GSA, :freaky

    Thanks - will keep searching.

    I did see the camel toe - but looking more to have the bike sit up higher.

    And yes the amount of farklization is mind boggling!!!

    Is this what you have in mind? I added a 3mm adapter plate to the TT foot extension and like the result. Great for breaking the bead on tires as well.

    If you do not see the part on the TT site give them a call, great folks.

    Take care, and congrats on the new GS.
