Hey all-
As I get more comfortable on my '02 1150 rt, I'm finding that I often scrape the centerstand on the pavement while turning. It's a horrible sound, and shocking when it happens. No, no, I'm not riding recklessly! (Honestly!) The bike has been lowered with Works shocks, so all that undercarriage stuff hangs a couple of inches closer to the pavement. It also takes two burly men to put the thing up on the centerstand because the bike actually has to be lifted completely up onto it. Once up, the front tire is about 4" off the garage floor.
I plan to cut and re-weld the centerstand down this winter, but I don't expect that will help with the scraping. Anyone have any solutions to this problem?
Thanks
