Side Stand for a R100 GS

Hi folks

I need a decent sidestand from my 1989 GS. I've been told that the Surefoot will fit, but needs adapting. Does anyone supply one that can be more easily fitted than this? All information welcome... (including details of Surefoot or other sidestand manufacturers)

Bracken tell me they no longer provide a sidestand for the R100 GS - however since I posted this message I have been sent an email which put me in touch with Ernie at Overland Solutions (e-mail: ernie@overland-solutions.com). He is able to do the work - not sure how much it will cost though and the stand can be built to my specification.

Ernie has seen mine, and we have discussed making replicas, so I suspect that's pretty much what you'll get. It's bullet-proof, works great - originally a Brown /2 stand hacked to fit just below the footpeg. Easy to use, out of the way, solid.
