Why
do you need to shorten the kickstand? I have a very heavy bike and I can still
lift it by turning the wheel hard right and leaning into it. Just don’t park it
on a hill with the left side down…. My 2 cents

Subject: Re: [RCR] How much should
a kickstand lean?
WOW! In the 18 years I've ridden, I've never heard of
shortening the kickstand, so my first thought is why would you want to shorten
it?
I also wonder if shortening it, might compromise the stability of the bike when
the kickstand is
put down? nbsp;
However, I certainly do not know everything there is to know, or I would have
heard about this already. :-) I would suggest going to a
professional motorcycle
mechanic. &nbp;
I really recommend Gervasi's Motorsports. They are VERY honest and the owner
only hires mechanics with lots of experience. Ask for Rick Gervasi, who is the
owner and tell him Shelly referred you. Their number is 425-259-6875. Or
you can email them at www.gervasismotorsp

I need to get my kickstand shortened but I don't know how much to tell
the guy to take off. Does anyone know how many degrees the bike is
supposed to lean? Also, does it matter how much the bike weighs?
Thanks girls...I'm gettin' ready to ride!
