BMW R1300GS/Adventure Oversized Kickstand Base – BAC13 DBK

The BMW R1300GS/Adventure Oversized Kickstand Base (Part #BAC13) is a precision-engineered accessory specifically designed for your BMW motorcycle. Made in Italy by DBK Special Parts from billet aluminum and anodized in 4 different stunning colors.

This component is essential for adventure riders who frequently park on soft surfaces like mud, sand or hot asphalt. By significantly increasing the surface area of the sidestand foot, it prevents the bike from sinking and reduces the risk of a tip-over.

The DBK Advantage

• 3D CNC Machining: Unlike basic stamped plates, the BAC13 is fully machined from a solid block of high-grade aluminum alloy using advanced 3D technology for a perfect fit.
• Hybrid Material Strength: The main base is lightweight aluminum, while the upper side supports are crafted from high-tensile steel to ensure long-term durability under the weight of a fully loaded GS.
• Plug & Play Installation: This is a direct bolt-on part that requires no modifications to your factory kickstand.
• Premium Italian Finish: Available in hard-anodized colors including Black, Red, Blue, and Gold to match your bike’s trim or the BMW Motorsport palette.

📊 Technical Specifications

🛡️ Why the BAC13 is Critical for the R1300GS

Modern adventure bikes like the R1300GS often have a relatively steep lean angle when parked. On soft ground, the small factory footprint can easily pivot or sink. The DBK BAC13 provides:

1. Increased Footprint: Distributes weight over a much larger area to prevent “kickstand sink.”
2. Stability on Grades: Provides a more secure “bite” on uneven terrain.
3. Visual Customization: Replaces the plain industrial look of the OEM stand with a high-end, machined aesthetic.

❓ FAQ: Selection & Height

Is there a difference between the BAC13 and BAC14?

Yes. The BAC13 is the standard oversized base. The BAC14 is a “Raised” version that adds 18mm of height to the stand, which is specifically designed for riders who find the bike leans too far over on the sidestand (common on bikes with higher suspension settings).

Does this fit the 2025 R1300GS Adventure (GSA)?

Yes. DBK has confirmed fitment for both the standard GS and the Adventure models for the 2024 and 2025 model years.

Should I use Loctite during installation?

It is highly recommended to use a small drop of Blue (medium-strength) Threadlocker on the mounting screws to ensure they do not vibrate loose during off-road sections.

Pro-Tip: If you’re looking to fully protect your new R1300GS, the DBK Swingarm Sliders and Headlight Guard are excellent companion pieces that match the CNC aesthetic of this base.
