Longer shocks + regular sidestand = fallover?

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?   Cool

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

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

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.

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). Wink
