Kickstand

[ducfun]

Not much of a mod, so this might be the wrong place....

Anyone cahnge their stock (spring loaded) kickstand to something else? I have a '96 M900 and I really don't like how upright the bike sits. It seems like one small bump will allow the kickstand to raise and the bike to go over. Any thougts?

Did you lower your bike recently? Which bike do you have?

As far as I know the kickstand and ride height is stock. I have a 1996 M900. I only bought it about three weeks ago and the kickstand bugs me. The auto lift due to the spring makes me nervous about the bike taking an accidental spill.

i took my kickstand to a welder and had him shorten it!

but i also had my bike lowered, it was a pain in the arse to park, cause if there was no slant or a bump in the rode my bike would go over

What does it do, exactly?

It prevents the kickstand from automatically kicking up when the bike is held up and the weight is relieved.

thanks. I think I'll try that and report back with my thoughts
