Bought for and installed on my F800 GT, it is a much improved visual appearance than the little peg of a kickstand foot. Used thread locker, and horsed the screws down until very solid and tight. I like the heel catch ridges, makes it much easier to lower the stand while mounted. This foot enlarger does provide more peace-of-mind that my bike will still be upright when I come back to it. So far it hasn't failed me. The appearance is nice too, a machined look rather than a cast piece. My husband has one on his K1300 S, and it's stayed put for the last several years. When we installed mine we made a check of his, and things were beginning to loosen, so we took the opportunity to reinstall his with new thread locker. Best recommendation is to periodically check it, don't just set it and forget it. Very useful and necessary item!

Item was super easy to install and is made of substantial material. It decreases sidestand lean by about 1/4 inch or less but is not enough to be bothersome. Much better than the "spike" end of the stock stand.

Nice quality. Does what it is intended to do. However, i had to grind down the base a little bit as it was catching onto the double stand.

The BMW 800 series has an especially small side stand footprint, almost as small as those used on Ducatis. I am afraid that when fully laden with bags and touring gear, the slightest nudge would topple the bike. Further, when parked on asphalt on a hot day, it looks as if it would easily sink into the hot pavement and the bike would fall over. Wunderlich to the rescue with a sidestand enlarger that easily doubles the size of the footprint. It is easy to install and is of the highest quality of material and workmanship. Though it may seem a bit pricey, it is far less expensive than bodywork repair. Have a BMW 800? You NEED one of these!

Works perfect, looks good, easy to install. Of note, there was some weld on the side stand foot that needed filed down in order for the retention screws to sit flat, so I filed that down and repainted it, then installed the enlarger. Recommended!

Easy install, much more secure and now easier to deploy the stand. Looks great.
