Shorter Kickstand
#2

There is no shorter kickstand for the RS, and please DO NOT install the Wunderlich footprint enlarger since your motorcycle will be a LOT easier to tip over ... don't ask me how I know.

There have been many discussions on the solution to this problem, and one solution that was suggested was to grind the stop that it rests against when deployed to change the angle of the kickstand and thereby increase the lean. However, that is a very small change in angle, I think.

One other solution I heard someone do is to cut a piece out of the kickstand, but then the angle of the "foot" at the bottom would be wrong unless the butt joint putting the pieces back together is angled to suit.
