[QUOTE="Hornet Pilot, post: 1070438, member: 1440"] [SIZE=14px]I have also recently installed the Soupy's adjustable links and their adjustable side stand. After owning my 05' for 8 years and riding over 50,000 I have asked myself why I didn't do it sooner. I have set the links to approx 1" lower and lowered the front an equal amount. For using the side stand I just roll the bike up on a 2x6 like Frew W mentioned. No problem lifting it at all then. I have a RDL seat and have had my riding boots 'modded' to add a bit there as well. Bike handles and rides very very well. Other mods I've done over the years include the AK front cartrages, Ohlins rear shock and of course setting the SAG and compression/rebound to my liking.
