HELP - Centre stand f650gs twin

Bought f650gs twin 58 plate and decided at the time - as i was new rider and a short arse - to have lowered suspension ! Although i knew at time that a centre stand wasn't possible, I was under the impression that it could have suspension and stand at later date.

I've since asked bmw and have been told the suspension is now factory set and it's not possible...............

HELP................I'm off round africa in sept and really think a centre stand would be a bonus, any answers ! There's only an inch difference in the heights, so i assume its related to the 'length' of it when your trying to get the bike on the stand
