Wunderlich GoStand Centre Stand
Revolutionary and patented newly developed centre
stand that makes lifting a GS onto the stand a child's
play – even if it is fully loaded. What makes it unique:
the centre stand is comprised of three connected
hinged parts (like folding legs) that are spring-loaded as
required, making them practically unfold by themselves.
The rider can lift his BMW onto the stand while still sit-
ting by leaning the motorcycle once to the left and once
to the right. This makes the joints unfold automatically,
placing the Boxer in a rock-solid position. If you want to
take pressure off the wheels completely, the procedure
just needs to be repeated once more, and the BMW
is raised to the second level, which is necessary if the
wheels are to be removed, for example. Extending the
folding legs only on one side, uneven road surfaces can
also be offset. Ingeniously simple, energy-saving and
very easy on the back! Supplied as a version ready for
mounting with all mounting parts.
The facts:
• Revolutionary and patented newly developed centre stand.
• Centre stand made from three connected hinged parts.
• Simple operation from the seat!
• Two different jacking levels.
• Only extended on one side, allows uneven road surfaces to be
offset.
• Energy-saving and easy on the back at the same time!
• Ingeniously simple and simply ingenious!
• With TÜV certification.
• Made in Germany..
