Side stand for BMW 2-valve, manually retractable with ignition cut-off

Side stand for BMW 2-valve, manually retractable with ignition cut-off

The side stand for BMW 2-valve models was developed for Twinshock, Monolever, and Paralever models and is a technically clean solution for classic BMW Boxer conversions. It is delivered pre-assembled and attaches directly to the frame. This makes installation straightforward and the side stand ready for use quickly.

Due to its positioning, the side stand is particularly suitable for custom builds where shorter exhaust systems or greater ground clearance are desired. Especially with bobber, roadster, or café racer conversions, this can prevent the original stand from scraping early in left-hand turns. For Paralever models, it also represents a practical alternative if the original side stand is removed due to the removal of the crash bars.

The side stand remains locked in the extended position and features an integrated ignition cut-off switch. This prevents riding off with the side stand extended, thus providing a technically sensible safety feature.

Product features:

• Simple installation directly on the frame
• Pre-assembled and ready for immediate use
• Suitable for BMW Twinshock, Monolever, and Paralever
• Mounting plate made of stainless steel, black powder-coated
• Stand arm and foot made of high-quality stainless steel
• Integrated ignition cut-off switch
• Improved ground clearance for many conversion concepts
• Suitable for BMW 2-valve models such as R65, R80, and R100

The side stand is delivered in an extra length, and the foot is removable. This allows the side stand to be easily adjusted to the respective vehicle height. If you  want to know how to do this, take a look at the installation instructions under "Instructions/Certificates" here in the product description.

For some models, it may be necessary to remove the original center stand. In our Sport-Evolution conversions, we often deliberately omit it, as it can restrict the exhaust routing and the overall look.
Note:
The side stand is structurally compatible with BMW GS models as well. However, due to the greater vehicle height and higher leverage forces, GS models are not part of our official approval. Use on GS models is therefore at the customer's own risk.
Additional loads on the extended side stand can lead to deformation. This includes tipping the motorcycle over the stand or sitting on the bike while the side stand is extended. 

A high-quality solution for BMW Boxer conversions with a focus on function, ground clearance, and clean integration.
