Got the F2 down and dirty! Looks and rides SWEET! As such, the kickstand doesn't hold the bike at a comfortable angle anymore...What have any of you done to your lowered CBR's stands? I was thinking of heating up the very bottom of the stand and bending it out a bit in order to keep the "foot" of the stand, as opposed to just cutting it and have a "pointy" kickstand.
Thanks in advance,

i'm was lowered 3" andi cut a 1" section out of my kickstand in the middle then welded it back together so i still had the foot and not a "pointy" kickstand. but now i am 1 1/2" drop in the rear because it screwed my forks, subframe and undertail up..with just city driving..

the only thing that sucks is when you bang the fork seals after a week and they blow out and the rear tire rubs on the subframe and you have to raise it back up you have to fabricate a whole new kickstand.. trust me i had my suspension as hard as i could get it and i still rubbed the subframe in corners and on bumps... also my headers rubbed when pulling out of driveways... just a word of advise..

 

I ground down a bit of the KS mount stop(as seen in pics). I allows the KS to travel forward farther and thus making it shorter in the fully extended position. I went 1" down in the rear and 1.5" up front...LOVE the stance!

...and here she is in bed...

 

oh an inch isnt that much you wont have any problems... but that works. the pic in my avatar is 3" lowered, there are some more in my photo gallery too.. that is SLAMMED!

 

That is a VERY nice bike.

 

I love the looks of your bike...Since mine is a daily commuter for work, I need to make sure I don't have any problems whatsoever...Otherwise I'd be down at the 3" mark like yours...This will eventually be the wifey's bike and you can bet my new ride will be dragging ***!
Thanks guys!
