side stand?
have any of you ever noticed the stand seems to let the bike sit a bit more "straight" than other bikes?
unless its just me with a long stand lol

It will vary depending on the type of air in the tyres!!!

Re: side stand?
no spacer normal stand should equal no problems
spacer fitted normal stand and the bike tends to lean over further and looks very disconsurting
longer stand and no spacer and the bike stands more upright, again a bit worrying
spacer fitted and longer stand........

Re: side stand?
what mileage has your bike done?
has anyone heard of the rear shock sagging after high mileage?
i know these shocks are set up on the hard side, i'm just wondering if thats why your bike is grounding out around corners....

Re: side stand?
its got a hagon shock fitted marty that was only fitted about a year back I think, got receipts somewhere will have to check the date on it
it feels slightly soft when two-up but nothing worrying
i would like an alternative fitting at some point

Re: side stand?
i bought a brand new hagon shock about 18 mths ago, i paid extra because i'm as sexy as i am hefty, but it still failed after less than 4k, hagon rebuilt it free of charge and said that they'd had a bad batch of seals, it might be worth investigating.callam_nffc wrote:its got a hagon shock fitted marty that was only fitted about a year back I think, got receipts somewhere will have to check the date on it
