yeah, dont ever count how much you have spent on your bike. I tell my wife I usually spend about a grand a year on mine.........if she only knew
Mine has a growing interest in the sport (amazin what a ride on the Dragon will do ) n plans on getting a 08 250r. So I just mention sumtin n she has a clue how much it is

For any real working on it I would get stands. T-Rex has some real nice ones, $124 + shipping for both front n rear w/ triple tree.

Haha well i just paid for the kick stand. And i just bought the trex stands and while doing the dogbone the bike fell over on the stands too, triple tree but probably my fault.



Shes back up to original height now, front and rear and i will be putting the kickstand on next weekend as well. And ill put her outside and take some pics.

Looks good. One thing tho, I'd get real sliders n chunk the ones in the picture. The bolt that holds it on wont hold up to much at all. I had a buddy knock one off with just his foot lol.

Yea i know i should be ok with cutting thru the fairings anyways if i miss oh well haha. Vortex is what im looking to get, i gotta buy tires first though thats the priority. Car insurance went down 1800$ so some of that will go towards the bike.

You can always leave a wooden block or something in your passenger seat compartment that you can put under the kickstand when you go places. Would be a fine temporary solution until you get a new one.
