[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 883765, member: 3828"] I attempted to find an existing picture, but could not. So here's a new one that shows exactly where you need to grind: [IMG]https://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad4/FJWinNH/FJR1300%20Modifications/Sidestandpivot.jpg[/IMG] You'll want to file or grind away material where the orange line is. Note that on the kickstand itself there is a darker (clean) area on the forward surface that corresponds with where it contacts the stop that you'll be grinding. This gives you an idea of how much in the vertical direction needs to be relieved. If you do this, go slowly and take off only a little metal at a time. The stop is only 1/2 to 3/4" from the pivot center and the kickstand is > 10" long, so every mm that you remove from the stop will result in the foot end of the stand being a full cm further forward. Grind a little, then test and repeat as needed. It's a lot harder to put the metal back on than it is to take it off... ;) [/QUOTE]
