For those of us with pre-'23 RSes with the older, taller, sidestand, remember the shorter OEM stand for Asian marketis is available (part #46 53 8 564 609). Lowers it from a 7° lean to 10°. US dealers couldn't order it for a while but it's
available from MAX BMW so I'm assuming your local dealer can now as well.

At last! Better late than never. About 2 years ago I had my side stand for my '20 RS shortened. Cost was a used regular side stand and $50 to the welding shop.
