Default Bobster... Your Kickstand

Bob,

You had me worried looking at your bike last night.
I forgot to mention it.

Since you lowered it, it has the angle of the kickstand too verticle.

I know they make adjustable kickstands (I have one on the Busa) that can help with the angle issue... or simply do it yourself.

Point is, your bike is soooo beautiful, I would hate to see it fall over and get all dinged up.

Let me know if you need help with it.

Cecil

I haven't seen a newer model kickstand, but what we used to do to the old KZ's was get one used from a cycle yard and then have someone cut out a section and reweld it back together. Local weld shop should be able to do it.

That's the way to go...
Get a used one and chop it...
Keep the stocker for when you raise the bike back up.

Bob,
I've got his number... let me know if you need it.
