Dropped my CBR, any ideas on this...
I dropped it going...well...above the posted let's say. I got it all back together and took it out and the bike rides straight and seems fine, minus the scratches and such. One thing that is bothering me is that my bike doesn't lean on the kickstand like it did before, the bike is literally almost straight up when on the kickstand, is there any adjustments or should I just try to bend the kickstand down more?
Thanks all.

Don't try bending the kickstand. When you bend it, you compromise its integrity. Think about your freshly restored bike putting its weight on a weakened stand. And the bend will want to keep bending
Best solution is to find out why its position has changed so much and fix that. 2nd best would be to cut and modify the kickstand. But I'd go with option 1

Me personally, I wouldn't worry too much about putting it on the stand too much unless there's noticeable damage to the mounting points.. the stands don't take all that much weight, especially with the bike sitting nearly upright. But hey, that's just me. Nothing wrong with being a little cautious. That said... with it upright make sure it's not going to get knocked over with a gust of wind!!

Glad you're okay though, especially going "above the posted"
