Default Kickstand Length

Just a real quick question. I'm trying to determine if the PO cut the kickstand down when he lowered the bike. I've raised it back to stock height, and the bike seems to lean more than it should and I'm wondering if it's all just in my head.

Thanks all!

My F2's kickstand is 9 inches from base plate to pivot nut. What bike do you have? If you want mine and you have shorter, I would be willing to trade. My bike was lowered when I bought it so my kickstand is to tall which causes it to stand straight up. How many inches is your kickstand?

Mine is nine inches from the floor plate to the pivot bolt.... Anyone up for a trade? Or is there a way to lengthen them?

Or perhaps it's not even necessary? What do you guys think?

The only time i can see a problem would be on hills, hot/soft asphalt, or soft ground.

WTH happened to your bike? The exhaust is on the left and the kickstand on the right?

Op- just buy a new kickstand. Theres gotta be a million of them from wrecked and parted out bikes laying around un-used.
