I need a Shorter Kick Stand
I purchased my bike used and the person that had it b4 lowered it. My problem is that with all the wind and rain here in Miami, most likely sooner or later my bike will tip over because the stock kick stand is to long since the bike is lower. Does any one have any idea of what i can do to give the bike a lean to it when its resting on the kick stand and not be sitting straight up as it is now. I need to know whether i can alter the stock kick stand or if I can purchase a shorter one. Thanks!

How about resetting the suspension back to stock height? If you don't NEED to have the bike lowered, you should really think about getting it back up to stock height. There are VERY few advantages to lowering a bike, and street riding isn't really one of them.
But that's just my suggestion. It's easy to reset a bike's suspension (granted, you have the original rear-link). If not, it may set you back a few dollars........but it'll be worth it getting it back to stock......then being able to work from there.

Yea, that does sound like the right thing to do and i totally agree with you but I dont have the stock link because I bought the bike from the dealer and I dont have the $$$ to spend.
Thanks for the info dude.
Any other alternatives to solving this other than changing suspension back to stock?

Well, I got word from one of my close friends that at his job they can do the job for me. They will be cutting it I believe with a plasma if I remember right. Thanks for all your advice guys.
