Title: Longer shocks + regular sidestand = fallover?
Post by zipidachimp on 07/03/15 at 01:45:22

Probably should have seen this one coming. Lean angle looks scary but hasn't fallen over yet. Using 12 1/2" shocks for stance, but would like longer/safer sidestand.  Ideas?   8-)

I've seen that on other bikes, but thought it was just loose, didn't look secure. Will give it a try. Thanks. 8-)

Oh, now I get it. I wondered why some guys were using "shims" under their kickstand.

ROFLMAO ;D

Grew up in NY and "you hockey puck" was a standard. Dunno why this made me laugh so hard...but I honestly did laugh out loud.

Kudos for Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome.

I've only seen hockey pucks on tv. Where does someone in Arizona lay, do Muppets have hands? Anyway, where is a hockey puck found?

I just make sure I park with the kickstand side facing uphill.  (No problem finding hills in Kentucky). ;)
