Pictured above are
the old and new left side factory casting. The
shifter mounting point has been moved.
The factory used
both types during production in the second half of
2008 when some 2009 models were built.
Our left side adapter has been
modified with a 6mm set screw at the top to fit
either casting.
Our shifter linkage extender rod for the newer bikes
is different from the original rod .

BMW has made another change to F800 models.
On recent production bikes the sidestand has been
