Stupid question...

Fit my side stand today, but to be honest it doesn't lean very much, because of how long the arm is.... If I was to jack my ped up, would it raise the stand and make it lean more? Thanks

 

Yes it would

 

yes. when you say it dont lean much can we see a photo and may i ask when brand you have got.

 

If I had read this earlier I would of uploaded one, literally just locked my bike away
When I say it doesn't lean much, it's pretty much straight up (like a centre stand) I had it on earlier, rolled a fag and it blew over, luckily enough I caught it!!

 

And it's a RMS stand

Yeah just jack it up abit, I jacked up mine and the it leans real low on the side stand haha

 

Have you got some before and after pics? I even if the before ones just off the Internet lol,

 

yer you got to jack that up, i used a buzzetti and it was fine friend used the rms and it was too long. if you dont want to jack it up you can bend the mount a little to get a better lean

 

I'll just jack it up, will it defrost work? I really want rid of this centre stand lol

 

yes it will work, the higher you go the more the lean, but a stranded jack up will stop it falling over. just get a doppler one that can be adjusted

 

I've seen a lot of TNT ones around lol

 

tnt went bust for a reason lol, stick to brand that are still making parts, plus there around the same price anyway

 

I never knew they went bust :/ lol, what about stage 6? I like them lol

 

they went bust a long time ago but they had there stuff made in china in bulk so lots of stock about still +plus someone will buy the name at some point, i do like the SSP range it very good looking stuff and not too many ppl complaining

 

I've got a stage 6 exhaust so it'll go with that lol

 

Why not just cut the side stand and make it shorter? As this is the problem your going to make other non needed mods to rectify it?

 

I was thinking that... But, there would be no foot, just a bar that ends no where :/ and it won't have the bit that comes out to flip it down,
And to be honest, I have been contemplating a jack up kit for a while, now I have a valid excuse to get one lol

 

Thing is, I don't want the stand to make it lean way too low, and I don't want the bike to be way too high... That's the problem with being 6ft 3 :/
As it stands now, I have a bike that's low and the centre stand is okay, but I want rid of that, so it may be a necessary mod?

 

why do we need the centre stand gone?, in my first reply i did say just cut the stand. get a grinder and cut off 10mm at a time till you get where you want to be

 

But then the stand will have no foot or thing to kick it out without welding it all back on again.
For the sake of a tenner for a jack up kit and 10 mins to stick it on, not worth the hassle. + it'll look better jacked up.
