Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech kickstand length?

has anyone who has lowered there bike have any problems with the kickstand scraping on turns??? or is it just me? thought i might remove a few inches in length from it...any ideas on how much to take off?

My kickstand sometimes drags the ground on turns without the bike being lowered. I think it's just something you're gonna have to deal with.

Maybe its just me, but the couple of times this has happened to me its because I didn't kick the stand all the way up. Maybe it is the position of the mount, combined with my leg length, or the spring just doesn't have a lot of oomph. But I have noticed a few times I was riding with the stand not tight against the frame.

ok duh...just laid under bike to look at it,,and dang if the exhaust clamp bolt is just a lil to long,,,wasnt allowing kistand to retract fully...cut bolt ,,,all is well!
