shortened sidestand?
I've just had my K3 lowered and obviously have to be careful where I put the sidestand down. Is there an aftermarket stand that can be used to counteract the lowering?
I know im just being a lazy mare and should just be more careful where I park her but its nice to know I have options....

No, but if you know somone with a wealder, then is not to difficult. Grind off flat foot, cut inch off the stand, we weald back on the 'foot'

I've been tempted to do this as my bikes very unstable on anything but completely flat ground.

Northy, we'll post you the bits that will get cut out of Samnooshka, Bullwinkle, and e.d's sidestands, it'll look a little Heath Robinson, but all be genuine suzuki metal, won't that make you feel better?

pop into a breakers yard and see what they got laying about,
me mate made a sidestand bracket for his CG125 and just tried different size side stands from the breakers yard til he found one that was just the right size. |
