Easier kickstand mod.

[joelyons50023]

instead of cuting and welding your kickstand and weakining it you can try what I did. where the kickstand hits the stop you canuse a grinder and take the stop further back to put the kickstand further forward yes it is not flat when you kick it out but it is not badI have the 12.5'' rear shocks and at first the bike sit almost straight up which scared me because it almost fell twice but I myself am not an awesome welder.

That is a great Idea, I have often thought that mine is just barely stable when on the side stand...

Bump! I also have 12.5" shocks, and have often worried about the bike being too straight on the side-stand! Great idea!

Good idea. Had to heat mine up and bend it as Snowmax is 2.5" lover in the front and 1.5" in the rear!! Center stand is a heavy piece of ballast now LOL. Can put it on the center stand with help now:biglaugh:

it is a good mod that many have fogotten about. It's been done that way for a very long time. We had to do both on one of the shop bikes (we prefer to cut and weld them since that part is the hardest to undo if you ever go back to a different ride height.)
