I just put on the 30 mm risers on my 2000 M900 to raise up the rear end.  Works great and rides great but now it doesn't park so great.   Sad

I have a 2x4 under my kickstand now to keep it from leaning too far over. 

 I've seen a lot of talks about new bikes and kickstand modifications but none for an older Monster.  Any suggestions other then lowering it back to a world of slow steering?

I made one
Just cut the old on (keep it about 4 inches long)
I found a piece of square tube (how do you call that in englisch?)
And welded (MIG) it to the left over stand

It looks like this

If you wanted quicker steering why not just lower the front end?

ground clearance + where the rider physically sits (making it higher means more dramatic feeling when shifting weight)

Ground clearance was the main reason.  Especially with the imperfect roads I ride on.  I can't say I'm the greatest rider but I have scraped the shifter peg a few times on turns...still learning the whole lean off the bike thing.

At any rate I'm committed to this set up because I really enjoy the bikes response to my input.  I just need to get around to my friends house to weld up a kickstand.
