Bloody fantastic, the promised pics are coming.... just waiting for the right opportunity. We are currently in St Arnaud, just done a bit of chain maintenance before heading off down the Rainbow road and then up through Molesworth Station tomorrow and Sunday. I should be able to find a spot for a Motooverland promo shot up in the Molesworth high country.

Hey no worries on the pics! I'm just glad to hear you're happy with them.
I already see some pics I like on your RR. I think they'll just happen on their own on that trip!

I haven't read it yet just looked at the pics...

Got a few rides in but the plate is still "new" looking. Come April I'll give it a real test.

Don't remember if you got much riding in after you installed the skid plate but how do you like it?

Give it the boots! I know I don't have to say that to you though!

Anyone out there have SW-Motech's centre stand on their bike?

I'm curious on the clearance with the sidestand.

Thanks,

Dave

Here is the second proto of the MOD F800GS Side Stand Foot.

The size has been increased to 2.6x the original side stand foot size.
The one edge has been changed to have the least amount of impact on raising and lowering the stand. In other words the "over compensation lean" to the opposite side when raising and lowering the stand.

When the side stand is up there is a minimal amount of protrusion to the outside of the bike. Less likely to get ripped off and/or do damage to anything.

This is with the BMW centre stand. I would like to see how the SW-Motech one is shaped back there.

I'll get into the hardware locking system next...

Thanks,

Dave

Motoriley · 01-09-2011, 01:30 PM

Very nice! It was a nice touch putting the big M for Motoriley on it as well.

Guess I have to be the first to officially order one then...let me know the $$.

that looks sweet Dave....when you think they will be available and how much are you thinking?

Bushav8r · 01-09-2011, 03:03 PM

I really like the new and improved Mark II or whatever. I prefer naked as opposed to painted. It looks huge when you see it mounted on the bike! It will be nice not having to scramble around looking for something to jam under the sidestand. Do you think the added weight might cause the side stand to flop around? Nice tires too btw!

You seem to have few custom bits with the M on it!

The only thing is this one isn't going to "measure up" to your Ikea special as it only adds 2mm to the height. You were looking for closer to 10mm which is something we are going to look at next...

Hey Leslie,

I still have to do the one up for the F798Gs as it's different. It actually is the mirror image of the F8 one so it's length = the F8's width and the width = the F8's length

Why oh why?

Anyhow really hoping to have some done for the Vancouver Moto Show:

I'm sure you are going...

Price not quite confirmed yet as the "fancy bolt locking system" is still being tested.

It does look big when it's tucked up there...lot's of clearance though...and then not-so-big when it's down?

No the weight isn't a problem. In fact this one only weighs about 50gm. (2 oz.) which is MUCH lighter than a stainless steel one would be.

We will see you there at the show!
