Frequently Asked Questions

Will a kickstand extension fit over my stock side stand without drilling?

Yes — all LOBOO kickstand extensions use a lossless bolt-over design. They attach directly to your existing side stand foot using the original bolt positions or a dedicated clamp, with no drilling, welding, or permanent modification to your bike's structure. The OEM stand foot remains in place underneath. Installation takes under 15 minutes with a basic socket set and all hardware is included.

How much does a kickstand extension increase the contact area?

The contact area increase varies by model, but across the LOBOO range the pad typically doubles or more the OEM footprint. For context, the stock side stand foot on most ADV bikes contacts the ground across roughly 8–12cm². A loaded 250kg adventure bike on that surface area creates enough localised pressure to sink into anything softer than hard concrete. The LOBOO extension spreads that load across a much larger pad, dropping the pressure per square centimetre below the threshold where most real-world surfaces yield. Exact dimensions are listed in each product's specifications.

Does a kickstand extension change the lean angle of the bike when parked?

A small amount — adding thickness to the stand foot effectively raises the stand contact point slightly, which can make the bike sit marginally more upright when parked. For most ADV riders this is actually a benefit: heavily loaded bikes often lean further than comfortable when parked on a flat surface, and a slightly more upright stance makes the bike easier to mount, dismount, and right if it does tip. The change is minimal and well within safe parking lean angles on all supported LOBOO models.

Is the R1300GS extension compatible with the Adventure model as well?

Yes — the BMW R1300GS side stand extension fits both the standard R1300GS (2023+) and the R1300GS Adventure (2024+). The side stand foot profile is shared between the two variants. Always check the individual product listing to confirm the specific year range covered, as LOBOO sometimes releases separate fitments for earlier and later generations of the same platform.

Can I use a kickstand extension alongside a centre stand?

Yes — side stand extensions and centre stands are completely independent, and using one does not affect the other. Many LOBOO riders run a kickstand extension for day-to-day parking on variable surfaces and use the centre stand (if equipped) for maintenance or loading panniers. The extension only modifies the side stand foot and has no effect on centre stand geometry, clearance, or function.

What surfaces specifically benefit most from a kickstand extension?

The four surfaces where a factory side stand most commonly fails are: soft dirt or mud (campsite and trailhead parking), sand (beach or desert riding), wet grass (overnight stops in fields), and sun-softened asphalt (summer riding in hot climates, where old tarmac becomes pliable under heat and concentrated load). If your riding includes any of these — and most ADV riding does at some point — a kickstand extension is one of the simplest, most cost-effective upgrades available. Even for predominantly road riders, the soft asphalt scenario catches many riders off guard in summer.

What other upgrades pair well with a kickstand extension for off-road ADV riding?

The best companion upgrades for off-road and mixed-terrain riding are crash bars (engine protection for when the terrain wins despite your preparation), wide foot pegs (stability while riding the terrain that challenged your parking), and handlebar risers for the correct standing ergonomics on technical sections. Together, these four upgrades — kickstand extension, crash bars, wide pegs, and bar risers — form the core of a practical ADV build focused on real-world durability over aesthetics.
