Hey Guys
Sorry if I'm being obvious but to anyone who's lowering their bike, needs to remember to take the side stand into account, the bike won't lean over as far as it used to, so it may be risky if its parked that way.
Heaving it up onto a centre stand will take more effort if the bikes been lowered, and the centre stand may cause problems with the ground clearance.
I'd be interested to know how a lowered bike performs in regard to this matter of the centre stand,
Does it ground out in corners etc?
If anyones has a centre stand on a lowered bike I'd be interested to know about any problems you may have had as I'm considering doing this myself.
I'm lowering the suspension down 20mm at the back with Hagon road shocks and 22mm at the front with the Mecatwin fork spacing and shroud cover kit and Hagon progressive fork springs.
I already have the parts, so I'm praying you guys have the answers, failing that I'll know myself soon enough and I'll tell you, in the mean time I'll do my best to stay out of hospital or dent my bike...lol
So to any dealers or fabricators out there, ( Mike at BellaCorse , Brent at NewBonneville or Peter Jenks in the UK...hint ...hint ) maybe there a marketing opportunity for a modified side stand in keeping with the original.
Failing that is the metal on the current side stand able to be welded in a cut and shut job?
All the best
