Hi, dont know if anyone can help... I am lowering my 2007 R6 my aprox 30mm drop. By my not very mechanically minded head, i think this will make the side stand a bit too long.

Can anyone tell me if i can adjust where the side stand is fixed

or

will actually need to worry about the side stand

or

know if an older model R6 or R1 has a shorter side stand that would fit my 07 R6. I seem to recall the 2004 R1 is a lower bike than the 07 R6.

Any advice much appreciated.

BTW - already looked into cutting and welding the existing stand, problem is they are made of monkey metal and if i weld it, the stand will crack under the R6 weight.

if you want something uber-trick, then this may be useful - i don't know where you are but they may export or have a dealer network in your location:

not cheap tho.

i know when people shorten and weld their stands diy, they usually put a piece of steel up the back to reinforce it.
