Short Side Stand Again

Short Side Stand Again
This side stand is from November 2014 and it measures short 8.25" center pivot hole to middle of foot pad.

Lex and Wodge, There used to be a lot of speak on this subject as well as kicking up the foot pegs when starting off. I found all of this true when I first got the bike but with enough use it just gets easier and becomes a non issue. I find the tang with the inside of my foot right by the big toe joint (ball of the foot) and never kick up the pegs anymore. You unconsciously get used to it. Keep riding!!!:)

I have sort of got used to it but it's a bit of a faf. Looking at the photo of the Dominator side stand, the tang is located halfway up the length of the side stand which puts it well ahead of the gear lever and much easier to reach. I think that I might have a look at modifying my side stand over the winter to replicate this.
