Customer's kickstand foot was a bit worse for wear, and the lean was a bit much.

Lengthened it 1/4" plus the new foot, probably 3/8" longer now considering what I cut off.
Got the angle a bit better too.
OEM on the left (my bike), modded customer stand on the right.

nice work nick,.. now can you do something with the steel monster kickstands so that they can be bent a bit back and held higher up on the frame so that they don't drag on cornering?

that would be cool.

Nice job Nick.

Ya know, Raleigh is a really nice place to live...close to the beach and mountains, less traffic, clean air...   ;D

I wouldn't mind a nicer location, for sure.  ;D
Just not in the cards right now.

That stand fits *that* bike with *those* pipes.
Bikes that are higher/lower would require different ones.
I'm going to try to measure stuff and see how they look.

I've heard about that snow stuff.
Gone and been in it voluntarily whenever I wanted to.  8)

Seriously, I've seen parts of the East Coast, and there's some wonderful areas.  [beer]
