Figured you'd ask....

Here is a picture

He's not leaning very much but the stand looks close. You can also clearly see that the sidestand on the outside is sticking out pretty far. I don't know that I've ever touched mine down but then again I only kept it on the bike for my first track day.

wrightme43 lowsided and cites his centerstand (he of course puts the blame on himself). He came in hot, looked and leaned, and the centerstand levered his rear off the ground (right-hander).

Do you have any pictures like this with the center-stand on?



That's ^^^ only about 40/45 degrees but I'm thinking the pegs/stand would be making some sparks, no?
