M1100 Kickstand on 696?

[hcomp]

Well,

I went and did some laps after work today at my test track and then rode home.  When I arrived, I went to put my kickstand down and noticed half the foot was missing.  I didn't realize that it was even hitting the ground. After a little bit of studying of riding techniques, I now realize more of your body needs to leaning in than the bike. 

So I am wondering if the 1100 has a smaller (footprint) than the welded steel one on the 696....

Anyone attempted this yet?

it has a smaller footprint and I'm pretty sure it's a AL
also it's taller
Have you raised your bike?

Yup, Raux is correct.  Smaller footprint, cast aluminium, but longer overall than stock steel 696 item.

I haven't raised the buke yet Raux, in fact I'm running a spring length of 160mm and 10 clicks off full stiff on the shock. The roads to work suck.  I am running 32 psi front and 34 psi in the rear and I weigh in at 155 lbs.  I by no means know anything about bike setup, so I was taking a shot in the dark.

personally i would run the bike without the kickstand on the track.
