Fraid I don't have those but do still have a set of side racks for soft panniers if you're interested. Been meaning to sell them but never got round to it.

Had a bash plate but I got it used for $20. Never bothered with a centre stand, I just carried a collapsible walking stick to prop it up with and get at the wheels which worked great. Saves extra weight too.

Thanks for these guys, I'm in the UK so may incur some high postage charges. Anyone know a place in the UK where I can get Bash plate and centre stand?
Cheers

Dual Star were renowned for having lots of orders for Centre Stands for DR650s and sending out very few. Not sure if things have improved.

Ive been using a SW Motech Centre stand on the DR and its been great, well built, but yep, they arent the cheapest. Email them directly for a price for a DR650 stand in europe.

If you plan on lowering your bike at all, then use a prop stand as the Centre stand will be too low to work easily.

with all the gear we are carrying (2up with HT panniers and top box) im not too concerned about the extra weight....
