The Wunderlich Side Stand Plate is a precision CNC-machined aluminium extension plate that bolts directly under the stock side stand foot of the BMW R1200GSA LC (2017 onwards). It significantly increases the stand's ground contact area, preventing the bike from sinking or tipping on soft surfaces such as hot bitumen, gravel, grass, or dirt.
Key Features
- 8mm thick Dural aluminium construction — CNC machined for precision fit
- Black anodised finish for corrosion resistance and clean aesthetics
- External machined teeth for improved ground grip when deploying the stand
- Recessed cutout for the original stand foot, lined with vibration-absorbing foam to protect the OEM stand and ensure a snug, rattle-free fit
- Designed specifically for the BMW R1200GSA LC from 2017 onwards
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a side stand plate on my GSA? The BMW R1200GSA is a heavy adventure bike. On soft surfaces, the standard stand foot can sink — a larger plate distributes the weight more effectively and keeps the bike stable.
Does it damage the original side stand foot? No. The foam-lined recess protects the original stand foot from metal-on-metal contact and vibration damage.
Is it compatible with the R1200GS (non-Adventure)? This plate is designed specifically for the R1200GSA LC from 2017 onwards. Confirm fitment for other GS variants before purchasing.
