[QUOTE="RBEmerson, post: 1419281, member: 91458"] For the second time, I put the sidestand down, only to find the bike was tilted way further over than expected, making it very, very hard to right the bike. To say nothing of thinking "a little more tilt to the left and I'm going to be buying new tupperware bits". I have the (R&G??) footpad bit that makes the side stand foot wider, and maybe 1/8" higher. But I haven't seen or heard of an after-market longer side stand. Does such a thing exist? If no after-market side stand exists, how much longer should the stand be to maintain some reasonable amount of lean. The BMW K1600 I spent a week on had a side stand that was just long enough to require a slope to get the bike of what looked like just short of upright. SO, there's too long and too short. What length works for the FJR? [/QUOTE]
