Longer side stand for a CB/L 450??

[joe_russo31]

Bike is on the verge of true rideability, just in time for Mods vs Rockers here in San Diego (this weekend).... One thing is that with the new tires (Firestone rear, Avon Speedmaster ribbed front), the bike is sitting higher and leans a bit farther than I'd like on the side stand....

Does anyone know of another side stand that would bolt on and raise the bike up a bit?

Thanks all!

I have been building my cb450 for a year and never seen a longer or shorter stand. One thing i would check is that the pivot isn't buggered i found the holes out of round, causing the stand to pull out and away making the bike lean more. Other wise you may be able to bend the mount a bit, or get a welder to add a half inch to the shaft or maybe add a pad to the bottom to lengthen it,

Yeah, I think I'm going to have a welding shop add a bit to it. Should do the trick!
