Side stand gives extreme lean. Despite removing all slack in pivot bolt hole no improvement. I resorted to buying a used side stand, cutting it in half below the spring fixing lug, it is solid steel not hollow, drilling and taping 3/8 whit thread both at cut & then welding a steel sleeve to join the two halves giving the side stand an extra 1.5 inches in length. It still abuts up against the rubber pad on the silencer. This has greatly improved the lean angle when using the side stand.
