Adjustable kickstand

[whitewolf]

Does anyone know if there is any other models that will work for an adjustable kickstand? Any help or thoughts is much appreciated.

Adjustable kickstand? What for?

[whitewolf]

I have already lowered the bike a bit with some racing links. It is now a bit more upright on a kickstand than what makes me comfortable.

Ahhh!

What links did you go with? What's your overall take on them? I've been wanting to do that. Just didn't want to go with something that wasn't tested first.

I used a set of Brock's Performance links. S-13. They work great, love them. I have them set in the #2 slot and it lowered the bike about an inch. I have took a few turns pretty steep, handles great! However, I must say that I only have about 200 miles on them as of today so I probably should put them more to the test on some really stout "twistys". I don't feel as though the geometry was affected in a bad way at all, lots of confidence in tight turns, and I love the lower center of gravity. Really makes the bike feel great (bike feels great with or without them). As so far, really love them. I will provide a link as to what I have but I got mine from my local bike shop.

Thanks for all the info just ordered them. Can't wait to get them on.

Any luck on finding a kickstand? Got my links installed and was thinking about lowering the forks. Did you try that or leave them alone?

[whitewolf]

As it turns out, I didn't have to lower the forks. I asked the professionals and they said their was no need (I'm at the #2 slot). I haven't found a kickstand for sure, but I THINK, the "T-Rex Suzuki 98-on Katana GSX750 GSX750F GSX600F Lowered Adjustable kickstand" Will work. I called T-Rex racing directly and they couldn't say for sure but he told me that the return policy was easy. I looked at one at the dealership and it looks like it would work. I will let you know for sure as soon as I know.

That's cool man. I went ahead and lowered my forks about an inch. Looks great and handles very well. Out ran my buddy in a Fz-09 in the twisties.
As a temp thing I just cut the kick stand, looks ugly but works till I find a better one as well.

My friend did the same with his bike. He just went to a welding shop, had them remove some material and the welded the kickstand back. Looks fine, works well. You just have to be careful you do not cut too much or you'll have an extreme lean. Doesn't cost that much either.

Some guys have been making the kickstands on their dr650's adjustable. they say it costs about $20. Here's a link of the how to with a picture if you're interested: drriders.com/topic12470.html
