Yeah, I realize this, which is surprising since I’ve only been riding since 1966. First bike Honda Superhawk. Second Bultaco Metralla.
True, I might have compromised the lean angle with the pegs that were lower a massive 1 1/4 inch. However, this not a track bike, nor will it ever go near a track. The closest track to me is a 400 mile round trip. Also, the HP pegs that were stock are not spring loaded, so a solid touch is apt to cause a drop.
As I said before, my other 2 K bikes, K1200R and K1200 R Sport both had the same strange issue. I simply wondered if someone else might have had the same experience and found an elegant solution. The idea of the GT side stand is intriguing, but there is a difference in the tang that the spring attaches to that might cause interference with either the peg or shift lever.
Anyway, thanks for the input and help.
