Thought I read about the use of longer side stands from the smaller triples, to reduce lean compared to stock stand on the H1's.
Is there a particular model that works with the late H1? Looking to purchase one if any reading this have one you care to part with.
Saw two listings for S2, one for an S3. Thought I'd ask first to those in the know. FYI : From the heel of the shoe to the bolt center, my stand measured 8".

If your machine is standard, then the problem is probably the pivot point , rather than the factory std side stand ,
so check for hole elongation on the frame lug and stand , as well as the pivot bolt itself.

...and the "fork" at the top of the stand spreads, needs a bit of work, too!

Easiest fix I know of is to use an S3, KH400 side stand.
S2 and other smaller triples use the same one I think?
