Is there a kickstand that leans more? By jaxrhapsody (Read 350 times)

I don't like how my bike sits near verticle, it seems like a gust of wind could blow it over.

If you look at how it comes to a stop when you kick it out on the mount some metal can be ground away with a body grinder. This will the stand to go more forward this will let the bike lean more. The positive thing about that mod is that is the bike gets shoved forwards it wont roll off the stand. Some times along with that a person can bend the stand some.

Probably the next time I bring my KLX into the garage/shop I am going to do the same thing.


edit: take a look at how a Harley stand sits. One thing I will say for the harleys, they knew what they were doing when building the kick stand. It is next to impossible to roll one off its stand no matter how hard you try. Instead of going straight down like yours it continues to go forwards and locks in place from the weight of the bike.

Yeah, that was kinda what I was looking for. I thought I seen some for Ruckus, once.The ones for bagger style bikes are longer, and they are kinda double hindged.
