Your right.
When I had the stock wheels on the bike the stand worked but the bike had to be on flat ground and it was very tippy.
If PMB made it about 1/4 to 1/2" shorter it would be a LOT better for a stock bike.

Next door having my buddy Trav doing some welding.
Motorrad:
Should have grounded closer to the weld, (on the kickstand) so the current didnt have to run through the frame. (CDI's and such).
Here is mine. Im NOT a row of dimes tig welder, I tend to just run a bead... Has MANY miles on it now, so its dirty, scratched etc. weld was never touched with anything more than a wire brush, (and now some rocks, sand, brush).. the 2 lumps are due to kicking the breaker on the welder. had to crank her up to more than the wall liked

Yep, I agree... In fact this was my fault as I was too lazy to pull it off the bike :roll:
