Looks great :thumbup: You can use a S3 kick stand and not have to use a block.


Thanks, I have one painted and ready to go...the lean angle is stupid with the stocker.

While painting the block is a step beyond what most do, the S3 kickstand is really the way to go! :lol:

Seriously, very nice! :clap:

The carb dripping may stop when you fix the side stand problem.

I thought it was interesting that somewhere along the way, the DOT started recommending that motorcycles have a certain amount of lean while on a side stand. Moto Guzzi followed the recommendation and made a special US spec stand that made the bikes lean more than normal. I wonder if Kawasaki got caught up in that nonsense too.
