When we finally got our BMW F800GS, the first thing we noticed was the poor design of the sidestand. The puck at the end of the tubular stand was so small it would instantly dig into soft ground or tarmac. The lean angle of the bike on the sidestand was alarming 20 degrees. It wouldn't take much for the bike to fall over on its side.

It was clear that something needed to be done. The puck needed to be larger, and the sidestand needed to be longer so the bike wouldn't lean so far.

Our solution was the "Puck-UP. It's a combination oversized sidestand puck AND it's adjustable in height so you can change the lean angle of the bike. Hence the name, Puck-UP.

The Puck-UP comes with a series of nylon spacers that you can insert between the intermediate puck and the ground puck. You can mix-and-match the bushings to achieve different lean angles, and to accomodate different preload settings or cargo loadings.

These photos show the stock sidestand configuration, and an F800GS equipped with a Puck-UP. If you look at the differences between the two photos, the Puck-UP reduced the lean angle of the stock sidestand from an alarming 20 degrees to about 11 degrees. No fear of tipping over with the Puck-UP.
