Fixed/longer/better sidestand?
My sidestand is a bit wobbly and now I've fitted a slightly longer shock, the bike leans over too much on the sidestand, so I need a new stand, or a way to modify the existing one...
Has anyone fixed a wobbly stand? What's involved? I've also seen that some people fit SRAD GSXR600 stands. Are these longer/shorter/same length? Would I need just the stand, or the bracket for the frame too? |

Re: Fixed/longer/better sidestand?
I used GSXR1000 K5, but had to chop it in half and weld it back together for it to work.

Just weld a small plate onto the bottom of the existing stand.
